Residents of Bangalore woke up to a bright and comfortable morning on Thursday, December 18, 2025, marking the start of a stretch of consistently pleasant weather. The city is bathed in sunshine with a gentle breeze, creating ideal conditions for daily routines and outdoor engagements.
Today's Pleasant Weather Conditions
The day is characterized by abundant sunshine and a very agreeable feel. The maximum temperature is expected to reach a comfortable 26.2°C. Humidity levels are at a manageable 53%, and winds will remain calm, peaking at around 20.5 km/h.
As evening sets in, the city will experience a refreshing cool-down, with temperatures dipping to a low of 14.2°C. The clear skies mean there is zero chance of rain, allowing everyone to plan their day without any weather-related disruptions.
Air Quality Update: A Moderate Reading
While the weather is delightful, the air quality report from Wednesday, December 17, requires some attention. The city's Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded at 61, placing it in the 'moderate' category.
This level indicates that the air quality was generally acceptable for the majority of the population. However, it could pose minor health concerns for individuals belonging to sensitive groups, such as those with respiratory or heart conditions.
The key pollutant readings that contributed to this AQI were:
- PM2.5: 36 µg/m³
- PM10: 52 µg/m³
- Carbon Monoxide (CO): 435 µg/m³
Authorities had advised sensitive individuals to exercise caution, especially during peak traffic hours, and suggested the use of a light mask for those spending extended periods outdoors in congested areas.
Outlook for the Week and Recommendations
The forecast for Bangalore is exceptionally positive for the coming days. The entire week is projected to be rain-free, with sunny days and cool nights. Temperatures will see minor fluctuations:
- Thursday, Dec 19: High of 26.7°C
- Friday, Dec 20: High of 25.7°C
- Weekend (Dec 21-22): Highs around 25.9°C and 25.6°C
Night-time temperatures will range between 13.4°C to 14.6°C. This stable and pleasant pattern is perfect for a host of activities.
Today's sunny and breezy conditions may help in dispersing pollutants, potentially leading to a slight improvement in air quality. It is an excellent day for morning walks, jogging, or evening strolls in the park. For those commuting, carrying a mask in traffic-heavy zones remains a prudent choice. The week ahead offers a superb window for outdoor activities and holiday preparations before any potential winter smog sets in later in the season.
