When to go, and when not to
January, February, November, and December stand out as the best months to visit Bengaluru. January combines a high of 27.6C with only 6mm of rain and 10.2 hours of sunshine per day, February is drier still with 0mm of rain and 11.4 hours of sunshine, and November and December bring cooler lows of 18.4C and 17.2C alongside light rainfall of 59mm and 34mm respectively.
The trade-off is that some of these same months, along with July and August, fall within the wider peak season, so travelers may face larger crowds even when the weather is at its best. Outside these months, conditions shift: April is the hottest month with a high of 34.6C, while July and October bring the heaviest rain, at 176mm and 164mm respectively, making the shoulder months a compromise between comfort and crowding.
