The Bangalore Climate

When you think, India, you think HOT! Right? Well, a well kept secret, is that here in Bangalore the weather is perfect nearly all year long. It is winter here on this side of the globe, and the temperatures average a high of 80F and a low of 70F. At an elevation here of about 3,000 feet, there is no humidity and the monsoon season rains (this is the monsoon season from July-October) do not cause flooding like in the coastal areas of India. This is actually an extremely dry monsoon season, and we have only seen rain once in this first week we've been here. The rains generally come for an hour or 2 in the evening during monsoon season.
Locals say that the weather is spectacular all year and won't start getting hot until the summer (April). Even in the summer we're only talking about 90F. So another Bangalore gem... the climate!
