Bengaluru weather is defined by a tropical savanna climate (Aw) with distinct wet and dry seasons, moderated by its elevation at around 900 metres above sea level. For today’s conditions, refer to the live forecast above.
What is the typical climate of Bengaluru?
Bengaluru experiences mild winters (December–February) with average lows of 15–17°C, and warm summers (March–May) with highs around 30°C. The city receives most of its rainfall from the northeast monsoon between September and November, though pre-monsoon showers occur in April–May. Humidity remains moderate year-round, making the weather generally pleasant compared to cities like chennai weather (coastal and humid) or hyderabad weather (drier and hotter).
How does Bengaluru’s weather compare nearby?
Due to its elevation, Bengaluru is cooler than the surrounding plains. For example, mangalore weather is far more humid and wet, while ooty weather in the Nilgiris is colder. Travellers can use the live forecast above to plan, but note that weather in bengaluru 10 days and bangalore weather forecast 15 days become less reliable beyond a week. For very short-term plans, check weather in bengaluru tomorrow; for longer outlooks, bangalore weather forecast 30 days should be treated as indicative trends only.
When is the best time to visit Bengaluru?
October to February offers the most comfortable weather — cooler temperatures, lower humidity, and minimal rain. March to May can be warm but still tolerable, while the monsoon months (June–September) bring frequent showers.
Does Bengaluru ever experience extreme heat?
Heatwaves are rare due to the altitude, but temperatures can occasionally touch 36°C in April. The city is not prone to extreme weather events like cyclones, unlike coastal cities such as Chennai.
How reliable are 15-day forecasts for Bengaluru?
Weather models beyond 7–10 days lose accuracy, especially for rainfall timing. For the most reliable planning, use the live forecast above for the next 5 days, and treat 15-day outlooks as general trends.
