As reiterated by Skymet Weather, Bangalore has finally recorded traces of rain and thundershowers on Friday evening. However, the spell has failed to bring any respite from hot weather conditions prevailing over the city for last many days.
Though, city has recorded drop in maximum temperature by one degree but we expect it to increase again on Saturday.
At 10:30 am, mercury had already reached 35°C and we expect maximum temperature to settle around 37°C or above.
On Friday, Bangalore had recorded day maximum of 36.5°C, which was three degrees above normal. Minimum temperatures was also three degrees above normal at 25.4°C.
According to Skymet Weather, slight drop in temperature was due to the cloudy sky on account of a north-south trough extending from North Interior Karnataka up to Comorin are across interiors of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
This trough is a semi-permanent feature during pre-Monsoon season, which keeps oscillating from east to west and vice-versa.

With trough likely to shift further eastwards, isolated rain and thundershowers are expected once again on April 25.
This April, Bangalore has been witnessing abnormally high day temperatures. The city which is famous for its pleasant weather is reeling under harsh summer conditions in absence of any significant weather activity.
City has remained practically dry since April 10. So far, it has recorded mere 5 mm of rain against the monthly average rainfall of 40 mm.
