Bengaluru, once known as India’s Garden City, is facing extreme heat this summer, with temperatures expected to rise above 38°C due to the El Niño phenomenon. This climate anomaly, caused by warming Pacific Ocean waters, is predicted to exacerbate the city's already rising temperatures, which have been driven up by rapid urbanization and deforestation. Experts highlight that Bengaluru's average annual rainfall of 950 mm could decrease by at least 10%, threatening water supplies from the Cauvery catchment area. Additionally, El Niño could lead to sudden heavy downpours, increasing the risk of flooding. To combat the heat, health professionals recommend drinking at least 3 litres of water daily and avoiding heavy meals. Fashion advice includes wearing light-colored clothing to mitigate sun exposure.
