How do you pronounce "गर्मी" in Hindi?
GUR-mee — a plain g, a bare schwa, one flick of the tongue, and a long ee.
garmee
The opening syllable is a schwa plus a tap, so it barely occupies any time, and the long ee at the end takes the beat. An American r would double the first syllable's length and level the two out.

"Garmee meraa pasandeedaa mausam hai" makes meraa and pasandeedaa masculine to agree with mausam, not with garmee — the subject and the predicate noun have different genders, and the adjectives track the predicate. Mausam's औ is a steady rounded vowel.
Where English speakers slip
The r turns into a sustained rhotic that colours the schwa, giving "GARR-mee." One brief tap is all it takes. Adding breathiness to the initial g would move it into the घ series, which is a distinct letter and worth keeping separate.
