Summer months are moderately hot with the average temperature going between 22-39°C. The days could be hot and sunny but bearable. May is the hottest month of the year but the weather turns cool after the time of sunset and remains so up until sunrise. Put on some sunglasses and scoop a hat, wear light cottons and carry your water bottle. This is the best time to check out the summer's blooms in the fields.
Monsoon (June-September)

You get moderate rainfall, and that’s decently safe to venture out for sightseeing and photography. Intermittent rains may throw a wet blanket in if you plan on pursuing adventure sports like trekking, skydiving or a long trip through the city. If at all it rains, relax in your lounge chair, watching the rain, with a hot cup of coffee and a piping hot Mysore bonda. Temperature averages 19-29°C.

The landscape is lush and verdant after the recent rains. There might be occasional rains from the northeast monsoon winds, so carry an umbrella or raincoats. Temperature ranges from 16-28°C.
