The Karnataka State Natural Disaster Management Centre (KSNDMC) district-wise minimum and maximum temperatures recorded from 8.30 a.m. on Wednesday, May 1, to 8.30 a.m. on Thursday, May 2, showed that Bengaluru Urban recorded a maximum of 41.1 °C and a minimum of 24.3°C.
However, the India Meteorological Department’s (IMD) observation data recorded at 5.30 p.m. on Thursday stated that the three stations—Bengaluru City, Kempegowda International Airport, and HAL airport — had a maximum of 38.2 °C, 39.1 °C and 38.2°C respectively, while the minimum recorded temperature was 25.5°C, 26.3°C and 25°C respectively.
The variation between the KSNDMC data and IMD’s data is because the former has more observatories when compared to the latter.
