The weather condition in India cannot be generalized because of the vast geographic scale and wide range of climates. This is exactly why those seeking to visit this amazing country for the first time would have to pay close attention to the weather condition of the region they plan on visiting.

Like most countries, the meteorological department of India has identified four (4) major weather conditions that everyone seeking to travel to this country should take to heart.

1. Winter;

This is the coldest season in the country, and this is because, during these months, vertical rays of the sun moves south of the equator, thus, making the country experience a cool weather condition. While this season usually starts from October and runs to February, you will find it interesting to know that the months of December and January happen to be the coldest months. During the month of December and January, Indian Himalayas get to experience the lowest temperature while the east and south region of the country experiences high temperatures.

Times where the annual snowfall in the country is at 50mm or below, some of the Himalayan states (Kashmir and Jammu located in the north, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, and Himachal Pradesh) experience heavy snowfalls. Nagaland and Manipur which, although not located close to the Himalayan states, tend to experience occasionally heavy rainfall. Kashmir and Jammu happen to be the worse states to visit during this period as blizzards occur disrupting travels as well as other activities. Surprisingly, North India does not receive snow at any time of the year.

2. Summer;

The summer season starts from the month of March and runs to the end of May in other parts of the country. For Northwestern India, summer season usually starts from the month of April and runs to the end of the month of June. While the Western and Southern regions of the country tend to experience summer in different months, they are all very hot during the month of April, thus, making it the hottest month in these regions. For the North region, the month of May has been described as the hottest, and most cities in this region have a temperature of 50°C.

Aside from the difference in summer months experienced in this country, one amazing thing about the summer season is “wind” which is fondly called “Loo.” Basically, they are a strong, hot, gusty, and dry wind that occasionally blow in most parts of the country. Reports have revealed that exposure to this wind may be fatal. Himachal Pradesh like the Northern region of the country tends to experience its Sumner from the end of the month of April down to the end of June. During this period, the region is always hot as it has a temperature that ranges from 28°C to 32°C.

3. Monsoon;

Otherwise referred to as the southwest summer monsoon, this is basically a four (4) month period that is characterized by massive convective thunderstorms. It is also referred to as the most productive season on Earth. This season happens to be a product of trade winds in the southeast which originates from high-pressure masses that center over the Indian Ocean located in the south. The torrents have been revealed to supply over 80% of India’s total rainfall.

This season lasts from July down to the end of the month of September. It is characterized by humid southwest summer monsoon which gradually sweeps the country. North India does not get to experience rainfall during the monsoon season until the beginning of the month of October. The Southern region of the country tends to receive more rainfall during this season.

4. Autumn season or post-monsoon season;

This season starts from the month of October and runs until the end of November. During this season, the Northeast region of India is characterized by cloudless weather. A higher percentage of the annual precipitation is received by Tamil Nadu in the Northeast region during the post-monsoon season. 

This season brings about dry, dense, and cool air masses to some of the large parts of India. Wind spill from across the Himalayas & flow down to the southwest right across the country, resulting in a sunny and clear sky. Although the meteorological department of India refers to this period as the fourth monsoon season, most weather and climate experts and sources state that there are just three seasons. Most parts of the country see this period as a transition from the wet to the dry seasons. The average temperature ranges from 28°C to 34°C.

Best Periods To Visit India

Based on the reports and weather condition statistics, it has been revealed that the months of October to March is the best time to visit most of the parts of the country. India is characterized by a diverse weather pattern, for example, the Himalayas stop the wind from getting to most parts of the country, thus, making the winter season warm and the summer season very hot.
