Best Time to Fly to Bangalore
The best time to book your flights from San Francisco to Bangalore,
weather-wise, is during winters i.e. the months from October to February.
Temperatures during these months remain low and the weather remains
soothing for sightseeing. The summer months are less dry than the cities of
northern India and therefore you can consider these months to book your
flights from SFO to BLR. The monsoon arrives between the months of June and
August and during this season, the city experiences lots of rains and cool
temperatures.
