AQI Moderate but Heat Expected to Intensify

The Air Quality Index (AQI) in Bengaluru currently ranges between 52 and 150, which falls under the moderate category. 

Although air quality remains manageable for most residents, weather experts warn that temperatures are expected to rise further after the second week of March. 

As clear skies continue, the lack of cloud cover may contribute to stronger sunlight and higher daytime temperatures, gradually intensifying the summer heat across the city.
