If you’re living with psoriasis in Bangalore and notice your skin getting worse during certain months, you’re not imagining things—Bangalore’s unique climate is directly triggering your flare-ups.
After treating over 12,000 psoriasis patients in Bangalore for 22+ years, Dr. Chaithanya KS has identified distinct weather patterns that cause predictable symptom spikes. This comprehensive guide reveals exactly how Bangalore’s changing climate affects your skin and what you can do about it.
How Bangalore’s Unique Climate Affects Psoriasis
Bangalore sits at 3,000 feet elevation with a tropical savanna climate that’s dramatically changing. In 2025, Bangalore recorded temperatures of 35.9°C—hotter than Delhi—marking the warmest February in city history. These climate shifts directly impact psoriasis severity.
The Bangalore Climate-Psoriasis Connection
Temperature Fluctuations: Bangalore now experiences temperature swings from 18°C (nighttime) to 36°C (daytime) within 24 hours. These rapid changes stress your skin’s barrier function, triggering immune responses that worsen psoriasis.
Humidity Variations: The city’s humidity ranges from 40% (summer) to 80% (monsoon), creating two distinct psoriasis trigger periods. Both extremes cause problems—low humidity dries skin, while high humidity promotes bacterial growth and inflammation.
Reduced Rainy Days: Bangalore’s rainy days decreased by 39.7% from 2010 to 2025, meaning less cloud cover and more direct sun exposure. While moderate sunlight helps psoriasis, intense UV radiation without proper protection causes flare-ups.
Bangalore’s Four Psoriasis Seasons (What to Expect)
Season 1: Summer (March-May) – Peak Flare-Up Period
Temperature Range: 24°C to 36°C
Humidity: 40-55%
Psoriasis Impact: HIGH
Why It Gets Worse:
- Excessive sweating irritates plaques, causing burning and itching
- Low humidity strips natural skin moisture, increasing scaling
- Heat aggravates Pitta dosha (Ayurvedic heat imbalance), causing inflammation
- Indoor AC further dehydrates skin
What 73% of Dr. Chaithanya’s Patients Report:
“My psoriasis spreads fastest in April-May when Bangalore temperatures cross 33°C. Elbows and knees crack and bleed from dryness.”
Summer Management Protocol:
- Apply cooling oils (coconut + neem) 3 times daily, especially after sweating
- Drink 3-4 liters of water daily to compensate for moisture loss
- Avoid peak sun hours (11 AM – 3 PM) when Bangalore UV index reaches 11+
- Wear loose cotton clothing that doesn’t trap sweat against plaques
- Take lukewarm showers (never hot) to prevent further drying
Season 2: Pre-Monsoon (June) – Transition Period
Temperature Range: 22°C to 28°C
Humidity: Rising from 60% to 75%
Psoriasis Impact: MODERATE
Why It Changes:
Bangalore experiences scattered showers with rising humidity. For some patients, initial humidity increase provides relief by moisturizing skin. For others, dampness begins triggering Kapha-related flare-ups.
Critical Action:
This is the ideal time to start intensive Panchakarma treatment before full monsoon arrives. Dr. Chaithanya recommends beginning Virechana (detoxification) in early June when weather is moderate.
Season 3: Monsoon (July-September) – Hidden Danger Period
Temperature Range: 19°C to 25°C
Humidity: 75-85%
Psoriasis Impact: MODERATE TO HIGH
Why Many Patients Get Worse:
Despite cooler temperatures feeling comfortable, monsoon creates perfect conditions for psoriasis complications:
- Reduced Sunlight: Cloud cover blocks therapeutic UV rays, lowering Vitamin D production by 40%
- Persistent Dampness: Wet clothes, delayed drying, and humid air keep skin moist for hours—perfect breeding ground for bacterial infections
- Increased Kapha Dosha: Ayurveda identifies heavy, damp conditions as Kapha-aggravating, causing congestion in skin tissues
- Lower Immunity: Monsoon-related infections weaken immune system, triggering autoimmune flare-ups
Monsoon-Specific Problems in Bangalore:
Bangalore receives moderate rainfall (averaging 16mm in monsoon months) with high humidity but not continuous downpours. This creates prolonged damp conditions without the cleansing effect of heavy rain—worst-case scenario for psoriasis.
Monsoon Management Protocol:
- Change immediately if clothes get wet—never stay in damp fabric
- Apply Vetpalai Thailam + Dhurdhurapatradi oil mixture twice daily to create protective barrier
- Use neem-based herbal soap to prevent bacterial infections
- Pat skin completely dry after bathing—pay special attention to skin folds
- Supplement with Vitamin D3 (2000-3000 IU) to compensate for reduced sunlight
- Avoid yogurt, sour foods, and cold beverages that aggravate Kapha
Season 4: Post-Monsoon & Winter (October-February) – Best Management Period
Temperature Range: 15°C to 27°C
Humidity: 55-70%
Psoriasis Impact: LOW TO MODERATE
Why Most Patients Improve:
Bangalore’s “winter” offers ideal conditions: moderate temperatures, balanced humidity, and maximum sunny days. This is when Dr. Chaithanya’s patients see fastest improvement with treatment.
However, Watch For:
- Early morning cold (15-17°C) can dry skin if not properly moisturized
- Temperature swings between morning chill and afternoon warmth (27°C) require layered skincare
- Warming trend starting mid-February as Bangalore heats up earlier than previous years
Winter Optimization Strategy:
- This is the best time for aggressive treatment—90% of Dr. Chaithanya’s permanent cure cases started treatment in October-February
- Apply heavy moisturizers (ghee-based preparations) at night when temperatures drop
- Get maximum sun exposure during 9-11 AM when UV is therapeutic but not harmful
- Continue blood purification herbs (Guduchi, Manjistha) to capitalize on favorable climate
The 2025 Bangalore Climate Change Factor
Critical Update: Bangalore’s climate has shifted dramatically in recent years, directly impacting psoriasis management.
What Changed (2010-2025 Data):
- Temperature increased by 2.7°C compared to historical averages
- Rainy days decreased by 39.7%, meaning longer dry periods
- Humidity increased by 1.4%, creating more muggy conditions
- Climate change severity score: 43/100 (HIGH)
What This Means for Your Psoriasis:
The traditional “pleasant Bangalore weather” that used to help psoriasis naturally is disappearing. Patients who managed symptoms with minimal intervention 10 years ago now need active treatment protocols.
Dr. Chaithanya’s observation: “I’m seeing 34% more summer flare-ups in 2024-25 compared to 2015-16, directly correlating with Bangalore’s rising temperatures.”

Real Bangalore Patient: Weather-Triggered to Weather-Proof
Ramesh, 34, Software Engineer, Koramangala
“For 8 years, my psoriasis followed Bangalore’s weather like clockwork. Every March when temperatures hit 34°C, I’d get massive flare-ups covering my back and legs. Monsoon humidity made it spread to my scalp. I tried every cream and steroid—nothing worked permanently.
Dr. Chaithanya explained how my body was reacting to Bangalore’s specific climate changes. He didn’t just treat the psoriasis—he gave me a weather-based management plan.
Here’s what changed:
- Started intensive Virechana treatment in November 2023 (optimal weather window)
- Learned to adjust my oil application based on daily humidity levels
- Switched to Pitta-cooling diet in summer months
- Now I track weather forecast and prepare my skin 3 days in advance
Result: It’s November 2025—I just experienced my THIRD consecutive summer in Bangalore with zero flare-ups. My skin stayed clear even during the record-breaking 36°C heat in February. I finally understand my psoriasis isn’t about the disease—it’s about working WITH Bangalore’s climate, not against it.”
