The holiday season in India is year-round, but despite the fact that hot weather always reigns here, it is best to visit the country in mid-October - early March.
Features of rest in Indian resorts by seasons
- Spring: March-May are the hottest months of the year (the thermometer can reach +42 degrees), so during this period it is advisable to visit the mountainous regions of the country, where it is not so hot at this time.
- Summer: Summer is characterized by heavy rains lasting 2-3 hours, which erode the roads so that it becomes very dirty everywhere, and there is practically no traffic. In addition, it is very stuffy at this time of the year (air temperature + 33-38 degrees). Summer is hottest in the southern regions (in the city of Chennai +38, in Goa +34 degrees). And in the Himalayas at this time it is not only rainy, but also quite cool, for example, in Darjling, the daytime temperature is +21, and the evening temperature is +16 degrees.
- Autumn: by October, the weather returns to normal (it rains less and less), and in November some areas (north) suffer from drought altogether, which cannot be said about the southern regions - it rains here almost all autumn.
- Winter: this time is considered the best period to come to the country (it is dry and sunny here), since it does not get as hot as in summer (+ 25-26 degrees). But, for example, in Goa, the air temperature reaches +33 degrees. In the winter months, it is best to see the sights of Delhi (the air here warms up to + 20-22 degrees). And in the Himalayas at this time there are excellent opportunities for ski holidays (the duration of this season is mid-December - late April).
