🇺🇸 New York City vs 🇮🇳 Bangalore

Humid continental — hot summers, cold winters, year-round precipitation

New York City has four distinct seasons. Fall is the sweet spot: mild temps, low humidity, and the city at peak energy. Summers are hot and muggy; winters bring snow and bitter wind chill, especially near the waterfront.

Bangalore sits on the Deccan Plateau at an average elevation of 900 meters, giving it a notably mild tropical climate that earns it the nickname 'Garden City' despite rapid urbanization. The city's temperature is moderated by its altitude, but the explosive growth of IT corridors and concrete infrastructure has created stark microclimate differences between the leafy old cantonment areas and the dense new development zones. Seasonal weather is driven by both the southwest and northeast monsoons, with the city's network of historical lakes (tanks) and remaining tree canopy playing critical roles in local cooling and humidity patterns.
