Bangalore is also witnessing extreme heat this year, with several residents buying coolers and ACs for the first time.
India is currently facing one of the hottest summers of all time. The temperature is constantly on the rise, and the heatwaves are getting out of hand. For some areas of the country, it is normal as they get extreme heat every year, but some parts are experiencing this for the first time, and the people are not prepared.
One such incident emerges from Bangalore, where the citizens are now buying coolers and ACs for the first time. A user on X (formerly Twitter) named Prerana Nireeksha Amanna made a post that was relatable to all Indians facing the heat, but especially to the Bangalore people.

She wrote, "Never in my 20 years in Bangalore, I ever thought we would need an AC. Earlier say anything about this city and People would defend it with the pleasant weather. Bangaloreans can no longer play the “ weather” card. What is this heat even? It’s as if I’m staying in Rajasthan. Every year summer is harsher than the previous year. The heat is unbearable."
