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."

 

 

Prerana also shared an image of her bedroom with the new AC. The post currently has 512.7K views, with hundreds of people in the comments sharing their thoughts on the matter. 

One user wrote, "I bought this air cooler in 2016 in Bangalore because my room was sun facing but never used it after 2016-17 summer, turned it ON now for the first time after 8 years!!! AC will be required soon I believe!!!" sharing a picture of the cooler. 

"I am a Bangalorean..this year has been unbearable heat.. no ac still.. previous years we used to have couple of rounds of rain.. we have missed that this year... climate change is a real issue," another user wrote, highlighting the effects of climate change.
