Weather Conditions in Orissa
Orissa is known for its temples, waterfalls and beaches and is a popular tourist destination. The Sun Temple of Konark is itself a huge attraction, drawing thousands of people to it every year. But what is the best time to go to Orissa? When will you be able to enjoy the many delights the state offers? When is the most comfortable to travel and sightsee?
These are some of the questions that you should ask before making a plan to visit Orissa. Here’s a season-wise look at the best time to visit Orissa.
Winter is the best season to go to Orissa. From October to March, the weather can be quite chilly, but it is also pleasant. There is much to see and do here in winter. If you love wintry holidays, head to Daringbadi and you will enjoy the chilly weather there.
Summer in Orissa lasts from March until June and it can be quite severe. Temperatures can touch 40 degrees Celsius. The heat will convince you to stay put indoors, making a dent in your holiday plans. But if you do happen to visit during this time, then you can step out during the evenings. The Chilika Lake is a fabulous place to visit no matter what the season.
Monsoon takes over the state between July and September and it’s usually not the best season to go to Orissa. There are cyclones and tornadoes in the coastal areas and rivers are known to overflow their banks. However, Orissa’s natural beauty is in full bloom. The vibrant hues of greens and the milky waterfalls make for an arresting sight.
