Bengaluru:The city experienced patchy rainfall on Sunday, October 12, 2025, with pleasant temperatures ranging between 19.4°C and 28.2°C. According to AQI.in, the Air Quality Index (AQI) stood at 63, placing Bengaluru in the “moderate” category. While the weather remained comfortable, air quality conditions may mildly impact sensitive individuals such as children, the elderly, and those with respiratory issues.
Cloudy skies and light showers through the day
The day began with sunrise at 6:09 AM under partly cloudy skies and an 87% chance of precipitation. Humidity levels were recorded at 67%, while winds blew at an average speed of 12.2 km/h, creating a mildly breezy atmosphere across the city. Light rain showers are expected during the late afternoon and evening hours, which could slightly disrupt evening commute times.
Residents have been advised to carry umbrellas and drive cautiously on wet roads. The day will conclude with sunset at 6:02 PM.
Air quality remains in the moderate range
Yesterday’s pollution data from AQI.in showed PM2.5 levels at 28 µg/m³ and PM10 at 61 µg/m³. Carbon monoxide levels were measured at 360 µg/m³. These figures suggest that while air quality remains acceptable for most people, sensitive groups may experience mild discomfort or breathing issues.
Environmental experts have advised wearing masks in high-traffic areas and avoiding prolonged outdoor exposure during peak hours. The ongoing rainfall may help reduce pollutant concentration, offering some relief from particulate matter.
Week ahead forecast
The coming week is expected to bring similar weather patterns. On October 13, moderate rain is forecast with temperatures ranging between 20.9°C and 27.1°C. Comparable conditions will persist on October 14 and 15, with daytime highs near 27.5°C.
On October 16, lighter rainfall is likely, though patchy showers may continue in parts of the city. The weekend of October 17 and 18 will see predominantly cloudy skies with intermittent rain spells. These consistent showers are typical of Bengaluru’s post-monsoon phase.
The current AQI of 63 marks a slight improvement from last week’s average of around 70. Meteorologists attribute this improvement to the city’s ongoing rainfall, which helps in clearing suspended particulate matter from the air.
Typical post-monsoon pattern continues
According to AQI.in, Bengaluru’s weather reflects a standard monsoon transition pattern during this time of year. The combination of intermittent rainfall and moderate temperatures ensures comfortable conditions, though humidity levels are expected to remain high.
Residents are encouraged to monitor daily AQI and weather updates before planning outdoor activities. Carrying rain gear and taking precautions while travelling will help navigate the city’s changing weather conditions safely.
