Bengaluru: The city is witnessing a spell of cool, comfortable weather accompanied by light showers and high humidity levels this week. According to data from AQI.in, Bengaluru recorded mild temperatures on October 24, 2025, with highs reaching 22.2°C and lows settling at 19.5°C. A high humidity level of 88% combined with light winds of up to 21.6 km/h gave the city a damp, breezy feel throughout the day. The weather conditions are expected to bring some respite from the recent heat and pollution levels, making it an ideal period for residents to plan their outdoor schedules carefully. The probability of rain stood at 89%, increasing the chances of cleaner air and fresher surroundings across the city.
Good air quality recorded
Bengaluru reported good air quality on October 23, with an AQI-IN value of 35—one of the lowest recorded this month. Data from AQI.in indicated PM2.5 levels at 17 µg/m³ and PM10 levels at 33 µg/m³, both well within safe limits prescribed by national air quality standards. Carbon monoxide levels were noted at 431 µg/m³, posing no major health risks to residents. Environmental experts suggest that continued rainfall could further improve the city’s air quality, washing away particulate matter and keeping pollutant levels under control. Such favourable atmospheric conditions are uncommon during this period, offering Bengaluru a refreshing change.
Weather conditions and recommendations
The day remained relatively cool with temperatures fluctuating between 19.5°C and 22.2°C. However, due to the high humidity levels, the afternoon felt slightly sticky, especially in areas with low wind movement. Evening hours are expected to be more pleasant with reduced humidity and a cooler breeze. Residents have been advised to carry umbrellas or light rain jackets when heading outdoors, as rain spells are expected to intensify later in the day. Morning hours are considered ideal for travel and outdoor errands. Owing to the damp air, breathable cotton clothing is recommended for comfort. Those travelling through traffic-prone zones may consider wearing masks as a preventive measure against occasional pollutant exposure. While pollution remains low, road dust and vehicular emissions could still affect sensitive individuals.
The week ahead
Looking ahead, the coming week presents a mix of weather conditions for Bengaluru. On October 25, temperatures are expected to rise slightly, ranging between 19.5°C and 23.8°C, with an 86% chance of rain. October 26 may bring moderate rainfall and warmer conditions, with temperatures varying from 18.2°C to 25.6°C. The following days will likely alternate between sunny and rainy spells, maintaining a consistent temperature band of 17°C to 25.8°C. Residents planning outdoor events may find October 29 and 30 ideal, as clear and dry weather is forecast during these dates. Such variations in weather are typical for Bengaluru during late October, influenced by post-monsoon moisture and wind shifts. Despite the intermittent rain, the overall conditions remain pleasant, allowing for regular outdoor activities.
Cleaner air and pleasant days ahead
Yesterday’s AQI reading of 35 was among the lowest of the month, marking a notable improvement in Bengaluru’s air quality. The combination of steady rainfall and mild temperatures has contributed to the dispersion of pollutants, creating cleaner and healthier breathing conditions across the city. Experts believe that if the rain continues intermittently over the coming days, the city could maintain its current low pollution levels. The convergence of favourable weather and improved air quality offers Bengaluru residents a welcome relief and the perfect opportunity to enjoy the city’s natural charm.
