Over the past week, Bengaluru has seen a steady cooling trend — daytime highs ranged from 29.1°C down to 24.3°C, while nighttime lows fell from 21.3°C to around 18.9°C. Elevated morning humidity during this seasonal transition from the wet spell has led to recurring mist and fog.

Although no significant rainfall was reported through the week, persistent cloud cover and surface moisture point to lingering effects of the retreating monsoon. Meteorologists note that the current fog formation aligns with this transitional weather phase, as the city shifts toward a cooler, drier November.

From November 2 to 6, temperatures are expected to rise slightly, with highs around 30°C and lows near 19°C. Humidity will gradually ease to 60–75%, and forecasts indicate partly cloudy skies with no major weather alerts.

Residents can look forward to warm afternoons and pleasant mornings, ideal for outdoor activities such as walks, cycling, or rooftop relaxation. With stable conditions and minimal rainfall expected, Bengaluru is set for a comfortable start to November, a welcome break after weeks of damp and overcast weather.
