Bengaluru's December chill: 8.5°C mornings and heavy fog

India Dec 21, 2025

Bengaluru is shivering through an unusually cold December, with temperatures dropping to 8.5°C—way below the city's usual 16.4°C average.
While days are sunny and reach about 27°C, calm winds are keeping cold air trapped near the ground, leading to thick pre-dawn fog on city outskirts and highways.

Why bother?

This chilly weather isn't just a vibe—it's slowing down early busses, making commutes tougher for shift workers and travelers, and increasing health risks for kids, seniors, and anyone with breathing issues.
If you're heading out between 5am-8am layering up and double-checking road visibility is a smart move.

What else?

Don't expect rain or warmer nights anytime soon—IMD says these dry, foggy mornings are likely to stick around through December.
