As the seventh largest country in the world, India has many regions with differing climate conditions. No doubt, climate plays a significant part in one’s decision to travel and the preparations that must be done for the trip.
The climate conditions in the north are distinctly different from those in the south. For example, the extreme south may be hit by a monsoon rain, while the north is blanketed in thick snow. In general, however, the climate in India can be defined in three seasons: the hot season, the monsoon season, and the cool season.
India’s summer season starts in March until May. Things start to heat up in the northern plains during February and the rest of the country follows suit. When April arrives, many areas experience daily temperatures that exceed 40 degrees Celsius. The southern areas experience daily temperature of 35 degrees Celsius although it can get a lot more humid. Summer tends to be a lean season for Indian tourism but for those who can survive the heat can expect many services offered at attractive prices.

The monsoon season is from June to October. The southwest monsoon brings heavy rain by mid-July. This season can be a problematic time to travel around India as the weather can be unpleasant and the rain often disrupts many transport services.
Finally, the winter season starts from November until February. The temperature is pleasant during the daytime, and it gets quite chilly at night. As can be expected, tourism peaks during this time as many travelers prefer this type of weather. Those who wish to avoid the cold, however, can find respite in the beaches in Goa.
