Climatic Overview Of Bangalore

Its geographical location blesses Bangalore with a dry tropical savannah type of climate; being situated at a height of 1000 metres ensures that the summers are cool. It is called ‘the air-conditioned city’, and however disingenuous that name might be it isn’t at all untrue. The only one of the metropolises of India to be blessed with year–round moderate climate, you’re more likely than not to find good weather here on any given day.

The summers are cool with day temperatures averaging at 28º C and night temperatures at 20º C. Winters are only slightly cooler: day temperatures average at 25º C and night temperatures at 15º C. The warmest month is June and the coolest, December. Rains do substantially lower the temperature when they hit the city in months from July to September.

Rapid growth has had repercussions on the climate of the city. A large tract of parkland notwithstanding, Bangalore is increasingly becoming a maze of concrete structures and smoke spewing cars. As a result, temperatures are now higher than ever before.
