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.
