Thanks to its altitude, Bengaluru is mild all year. See today's conditions on the weather page.
- October–February: the best season, with cool mornings, pleasant days and the festival season (Dasara, Deepavali, Rajyotsava, Christmas, Sankranti).
- March–May: summer. April and May are the hottest months, though still milder than most Indian cities, with pre-monsoon thunderstorms.
- June–September: the south-west monsoon brings steady, moderate rain and green surroundings.
- October: often the wettest month, with heavy north-east monsoon downpours.
Pack a light jacket for winter evenings and an umbrella from June to November.
