Travel Facts About India
 climate
depends not only on the time of year, but also the location. In general,
temperatures tend to be cooler in the north, especially between September
and March. The south is coolest between November to January. In June,
winds and warm surface currents begin to move northwards and westwards,
heading out of the Indian Ocean and into the Arabian Gulf. This creates
a phenomenon known as the south-west monsoon, and it brings heavy rains
to the west coast. Between October and December, a similar climatic pattern
called the north-east monsoon appears in the Bay of Bengal, bringing rains
to the east coast. In addition to the two monsoons, there are two other
seasons, spring and autumn.The subcontinent has eight climatic zones all of which only have the monsoon rains in common. But even the monsoon comes to different parts of the country at different times. And you can fly in the space of a couple of hours through a range of weather from the cold crisp air of the mountains to the burning dry heat of the Rajasthan Desert where summer temperature regularly reach 45°C and beyond. Northern Plains of India, to the north of River Ganga, has the extreme climate. Summers are hot, humid, and extremely harsh. Do not forget to carry with you light cottons for this season. From July to September, Monsoon brings with it most of the rain received in this region. Winters are the most favoured season to visit North India, but the travelers are expected to bring with them woollens, as nights can be freezing cold. The summers are the best time to explore Western Himalayas, as the climate remains pleasant with slightly cold evenings and plenty of sunny days. For the adventure lovers, Western Himalayas is the best bait with plenty of trekking, hiking, white water rafting, and mountaineering options during the summers. Heavy snowfall and steep fall in temperature, makes many areas in the region inaccessible during the winters. But, one can enjoy the winter sports like skiing in destinations like Auli, Manali, and Kufri. Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, the two Central Indian states, escape very worst of hot season but monsoons are heavy between July and September. Temperatures fall at night during winter. For clothing, bring lightweights most of the year with warmer clothes during evenings particularly in winter. Waterproofing during monsoon rains is essential. The most comfortable months in Western India are from November to February; although evenings can be cold. Summer can be extremely hot with monsoon rainfall between mid-June and mid-September. Lightweight cottons and linen is required most of the year with warmer clothes for cooler winter and waterproofing essential in monsoon. |
