I have not stayed in Delhi at all, though I have been there a couple
of times. But, I have stayed in Pune for 21 years and in Bangalore for
2.5 years, so, I guess I could speak better about the two climates.
(though, Pune being my home town, I might be a lil bit biased towards it).
Bangalore. Pune.
--------- -----
three seasons, not so well defined. well defined seasons.
the rains can be deceptive(cold) rains are not cold.
the summer is hot (100 to 102, highest) same here.
the climate is bad for people with no problems here.
breathing problems due to presence of
some pollen grains and also the rainy
season being cold
the winters are nice and pleasant winters are really nice out
(as low as 55 or sometimes 50) here too. (as low as 47/48)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
other factors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
the water supply and the electricity is not much problems here.
screwed up
more cosmopolitan. relatively less cosmopolitan.
fast growing than Pune. growing
living is very expensive. expensive here too, but not
as much.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have not stayed in Delhi, but from what my relatives and friends out
there tell and from what I have read about it; Delhi is huge, more hot
in summers, colder in winters, more polluted, less expensive (barring
main things like land/housing). Delhi being the capital of the country,
has better roads. Also the traffic civic sense in Delhi is as good/bad as
Pune, but Bangalore is worse.
hope this helps,

It s early summer in India. Temperatures in Bangalore will be
around 30 C. I do not know how it is at Pune, but as it is close
to Bombay, I think it would be very hot and humid during summer.
Bangalore is not that humid, and it is generally said that the
weather in Bangalore attracts many immigrants from the rest of
India. If you are not used to hot summers in India, you better
go well prepared. The temperature can go upto 44 C in Bombay
(probably even Pune) and if it humid at the same time, it is
going to feel like a furnace.

Bangalore and Pune are situated at an elevation of about 3000 ft from
the sea level. They are never as hot or cold as Delhi. Bangalore, in
fact, was called as the 'air conditioned' city of India.
However, It does get hot in these cities during summer, when the
temperature may reach 40 degrees celcius. But that is limited to
a few days, and the rest of the year it is pleasant.
