Bengaluru woman stunned as city's heat melts crayons at home, shares video
A Bengaluru woman shared a now-viral video that showed crayons melting inside her home due to intense heat, sparking discussions on rising temperatures and changing weather patterns in the city.
A woman from Bengaluru shared how she experienced unusually intense heat inside her home for the first time, after discovering that crayons kept on her table had started melting, something she said had never happened to her before in the city.
The viral video, posted by Instagram user Geetha Shree Nagaraj, showed a tray filled with crayons and coloured pencils, several of which appeared softened, glossy, and slightly deformed due to the heat.
The clip also featured on-screen text emphasising her disbelief, noting that in all her years living in Bengaluru, she had never witnessed such a situation.
In her caption, she expressed surprise at the severity of the heat, remarking that it was her first time experiencing such conditions. She even joked about the possibility of frying an omelette on her table, emphasising just how hot indoor surfaces had become.
The video quickly caught attention online, with many users relating to the experience and pointing out how the city’s weather seems to be changing.

One commenter suggested that people should start planting more trees around their homes and terraces to help balance the rising temperatures, framing it as a collective responsibility.
Another user reflected on Bengaluru’s reputation for having relatively bearable summers, noting that it used to be one of the few cities where stepping out in the afternoon heat wasn’t unbearable. They questioned whether the city could now be compared to hotter metros like Delhi, Chennai, or Mumbai, implying a noticeable shift in climate.
The clip has added to ongoing conversations about increasing temperatures, urbanisation, and the loss of green cover in fast-growing cities.
