Bangalore in April
Not the best time
The heat arrives with a vengeance, making outdoor exploration uncomfortable during midday hours. Lower tourist numbers mean better deals, but you'll understand why most people avoid this month.
Weather
April cranks up the heat significantly with temperatures regularly hitting 34°C and the city losing its pleasant edge. Humidity hovers around 65% but the combination makes it feel oppressive. Occasional pre-monsoon showers provide brief relief.

April Tips
- •Plan indoor activities between 11 AM and 4 PM - malls, museums, and cafes become refuges
- •April is actually great for food tours since you'll be ducking into air-conditioned restaurants anyway
- •Carry sunscreen religiously - Bangalore's altitude makes UV exposure deceptive
All Months
October through March gives you Bangalore's famous pleasant weather. Temperatures hover around 20-25°C during the day and drop to a comfortable 15°C at night. This is peak season, so book accommodation early.
December and January are perfect for outdoor activities. The city celebrates New Year's with street parties on Brigade Road and MG Road, though crowds can be overwhelming.
April through June brings warmer weather but nothing like the scorching heat in other Indian cities. Hotel rates drop significantly, and you'll have attractions mostly to yourself.
Avoid July through September unless you enjoy constant drizzle. The monsoon turns streets into rivers, and outdoor plans become impossible. But if you're here for the tech scene or coworking spaces, indoor activities continue as normal.
