Bengaluru residents woke up to a classic December morning on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, with the city poised for a day of mild temperatures and sporadic showers. The weather data, sourced from AQI.in, provides a clear picture for planning daily commutes and outdoor activities.
Today's Weather: Umbrellas Advised for Pleasant Afternoon Drizzle
The maximum temperature is expected to reach a comfortable 26°C, while the night will cool down to around 17.9°C. This creates an average temperature of 21.6°C, contributing to a generally agreeable atmosphere across the city.
However, the skies are not entirely clear. There is an 88% chance of precipitation in the afternoon, which will manifest as patchy rain. The morning hours are likely to remain dry, making it the best window for errands. Humidity will be relatively high at 78%, and winds will be gentle, blowing at speeds up to 14 km/h.
The key advice for the day is to carry an umbrella or a raincoat, especially if stepping out post-noon. Layering clothing is also recommended to adapt to the slight drop in temperature during the evening.
Air Quality Report: A Slight Improvement Noted
On the air quality front, Bengaluru recorded an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 62 on December 1, which falls under the 'moderate' category. Notably, this was the cleanest air reading the city has seen in the past week.
The primary pollutants monitored were:
- PM2.5 at 37 µg/m³
- PM10 at 53 µg/m³
- Carbon Monoxide (CO) at 505 µg/m³
While the situation is not severe, the concentration of fine particulate matter like PM2.5 means that sensitive individuals, including those with respiratory conditions, should continue to exercise caution. Today's anticipated rain could help settle some dust and pollutants, offering a minor respite.
Weekly Outlook: Heavier Showers Mid-Week, Cooler Weekend
The current weather pattern of moderate temperatures and occasional rain is set to continue over the coming days. Residents should prepare for a wet spell in the middle of the week.
December 3 and 4 are forecast to bring heavier showers, with temperatures ranging between 18.4°C and 27.1°C. The likelihood of rain remains high on December 5 (86%) and December 6 (81%).
A change is expected as the weekend approaches. December 7 and 8 will be partly cloudy with a significant drop in night temperatures, potentially reaching 16.5°C. Sunday, December 8, looks particularly promising for outdoor plans, with forecasts predicting sunny intervals and a low chance of rain.
For Bengaluru's commuters, fitness enthusiasts, and residents, staying updated with this forecast is crucial. The blend of rain and improving air quality presents a typical Bengaluru December, where a light jacket and an umbrella are essential companions.
