Bengaluru Weather Update: Pleasant Conditions with Sunny Week Ahead
Residents of Bengaluru can look forward to a comfortable and pleasant day on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, as the city experiences partly cloudy skies and warm temperatures. The mercury is expected to range from a cool 18°C to a warm 28.5°C, with an average temperature hovering around 22.4°C. This makes it an ideal day for various outdoor activities, especially during the morning and early evening hours.
Detailed Weather Conditions for Tuesday
The weather on Tuesday is characterized by partly cloudy skies, which means there will be plenty of sunshine breaking through occasional cloud patches. This condition is perfect for those who prefer a softer sun while commuting or running errands. Humidity levels are moderate at approximately 58%, ensuring that the day does not feel overly sticky, particularly when compared to the pre-monsoon months.
Winds are expected to pick up to around 22.7 kmph, providing a noticeable breeze in open areas and elevated regions. Importantly, rain is virtually absent from the forecast, with total precipitation at a mere 0.04 mm and a 0% chance of rainfall. This allows residents to plan their day without the need for an umbrella.
The warmest conditions are anticipated from late morning into mid-afternoon, with temperatures becoming gentler as the sun sets at 6:18 PM. Early risers can enjoy a decent window of mild light starting from the 6:46 AM sunrise.
Air Quality Insights for Bengaluru
Air quality in Bengaluru has shown improvement, with yesterday's reading (Monday, January 26) recording an AQI (India) value of 44. This falls into the good category, marking a relatively clean day by the city's standards and a welcome change from recent days that experienced moderate to poor air quality.
However, it is important to note that the US AQI reading for the same day was 83, with particulate levels including PM2.5 at 26 and PM10 at 32, and CO at 321. While most people should have been fine with outdoor activities, individuals with asthma, allergies, or sinus sensitivity might have experienced irritation, especially near traffic-heavy junctions, construction zones, or during prolonged outdoor workouts.
Today's dry and breezy weather is expected to help disperse some pollution during the daytime. The absence of rain means there is no washout effect, but if winds ease in the late evening, air might feel heavier in low-lying or congested areas.
Recommendations for Today's Activities
This is a solid day for outdoor plans, with morning and early evening being the sweet spots for comfort. Here are some recommendations to make the most of the weather:
- Wear sunglasses during the brighter midday breaks between clouds.
- Opt for light cotton layers to stay comfortable.
- If you commute long distances or spend time near major roads (such as Outer Ring Road stretches, central business areas, or bus depots), consider keeping a mask handy, especially if you are sensitive to dust and fine particles.
- Stay hydrated by keeping water nearby if you are outdoors for extended periods, as the dry warmth can lead to dehydration.
Weekly Weather Outlook for Bengaluru
Bengaluru's forecast remains firmly on the bright side for the upcoming week, from January 28 to February 2. The city is expected to experience consistently sunny days, with daytime highs hovering around 29–30°C. Nights will dip to the mid-to-high teens, approximately between 16.4°C and 17.6°C, ensuring comfortable evenings rather than muggy conditions.
Winds will remain in the low 20 kmph range most days, and rainfall is effectively absent throughout the period. The best days for outdoor plans appear to be January 28 through January 31, as they look especially dependable—sunny, dry, and stable.
A word of caution: the primary concern is not storms but the midday sun and dust. It is advisable to plan strenuous outdoor activities earlier in the day and avoid long exposure right after noon when heat and glare peak. Additionally, skywatchers can look forward to a Full Moon on February 1, with moonrise around 5:55 PM, offering a nice timing if you are out around sunset.
