Bangalore had this unique trait in recent times from weather perspective. Whenever humidity escalates, clouds gather in sky culminating in quirky downpours. Even newspaper reported mostly negative parts of it, they had inherent unparalleled positive traits. They helped in calming down heat, reduced power consumption and increased ground water table.
This year August portrays stark contrast. No rains and High humidity. That unique trait is lost I feel. It's been high humid days but without rains. There are thick clouds all around but rains are tantalizing. It feels as if monsoon playing prank on the city!
Dampened Monsoon, Damp rest!
Thanks to debilitating monsoon, Bengaluru is witnessing scorching August. The street dogs resting over damp surface is perhaps testament to sweltering weather
Our apartment too is sourcing water from tankers. There is also news that tanker provider's water table also depleting. So not sure what is the future of Bangalore water supply in coming days. Its scary to visualize the summer water needs of city!
A colorful sunset to ward-off the negativities. But that does not reduce problem. It is high time that city thinks of its own solution for water scarcity than depending on external sources. Rejuvenation of lakes, rain water harvesting to new a few!
Great skies.
