Some envious users sought a ban on accounts providing updates on Bengaluru's weather.

"Bengaluru twitter’s making other cities jealous by complaining about the cold weather," another user said. 

In the North, residents are coping with temperatures shooting past 40 degrees Celsius. In Delhi, the temperature is expected to hover around a blistering 45 degrees Celsius over the next few days.
