Weather Conditions in India
India experiences a monsoon, tropical climate and three seasons: summer, monsoon and winter. But weather conditions vary quite distinctly around the country. The north has mild summers and cold winters, while down south the summers are hotter, and winters are milder. Your best time to visit India will depend on two things: time of the year and places you want to visit.
But generally, winter is considered the best season to go to India. Temperatures everywhere are lower than average and long journeys are more comfortable. Since this is the best time to travel to India, it is also the peak tourist season.
Here’s a brief look at the weather that will help you decide your best time to go to India.
Summers in India are hot. Coastal cities like Mumbai and Chennai also add humidity to the mix making it even more uncomfortable. But cities like Delhi and Jaisalmer can get hotter and temperatures easily cross 40 °C. If you think summer is the best time to travel to India, head to one of the hill stations.
India receives heavy rainfall from the south-west monsoon between June and September. This is the best time to visit India if you don’t mind getting wet. Though sightseeing can get challenging, you can enjoy discounts on your travel and accommodation. Do not forget your umbrellas and rain gear.
Winter is really the best time to visit India. Though India experiences a mild winter, it is pleasant enough to venture outdoors with light protection. However, if you’re visiting a hill station or one of the places up north, pack heavy woollens and layer your clothing.
