When weather goes haywire

The last week of December was filled with unpredictable weather activity in Bangalore with atmosphere abruptly transiting to severe cold weather in couple of days. This roller-coaster was due to the western disturbance prevailing over North India which brought in unusually severe cold winds towards South India. The chilly weather which measured as low as 10 degrees at night also brought plethora of disease along with it. Even my toddlers are having tough time battling with the severe weather. The viral infection is persisting for weeks. The tropics of coastal Karnataka are also reeling under cold conditions with temperature dipping below 16 degrees during night. Never did coast face such quirky weather. Hopefully the situation would improve when Sun moves to Capricorn during mid of January. As of now, its unprecedented freezing here in Bangalore with record dip in mercury levels. The scientists are attributing the severe climatic fluctuations to global warming. The streaming of chilly wind is slacking off the human efficiency as well. Weekends are restricted to dozing off and snuggling under the blanket.

Here are few pictures caught at Jakkur lake but not during those freezing days. The weather was warm till 5PM and instantly out of thin air, the fog appeared thus chilling the region.

And a similar feel at Chikka-Madhure. Too cold to bear. The atmosphere speaks everything!
