Many parts of Karnataka including Bengaluru have seen a sudden fall in the minimum temperature, reports The Hindu.
The maximum temperature in the city on Wednesday (3 January) was 27.4 degree Celsius, and the minimum was 12.4 degree Celsius, 3 degree Celsius colder than usual.
The lowest January temperature in Bengaluru is 12 degree Celsius, which was recorded in 2012.
"The cold wave is a result of anti-cyclonic circulation over central India. Dry air from the north has led to a cold wave in north interior Karnataka. As a result, fog is also expected in many parts of the State, including Bengaluru.” C S Patil, IMD Bengaluru Director-in-charge was quoted saying by The Hindu.
The temperature in districts like Shivamogga, Kodagu has fallen to 10 degree Celsius. “These places are experiencing a severe cold wave. This is less than 6 degrees from the normal in these places,” said Patil.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
