The Mysuru-Mandya-Chamarajanagar belt in south interior Karnataka is grappling with intense summer heat, with temperatures soaring 3 to 4 degrees Celsius above normal. Mysuru recorded 37.3°C, Mandya 39.2°C, and Chamarajanagar a scorching 40°C. Residents are staying indoors to avoid the heat and staying hydrated with watermelons and tender coconuts. The Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre predicts temperatures to rise further, exacerbating the heatwave. The lack of pre-monsoon rains has prolonged the heat, with temperatures remaining high for longer durations, posing challenges for residents in the region.
