Due to its size, India has a great diversity of climates. Therefore, even at the same time of year, weather conditions can vary depending on the region of the country you visit.

Generally speaking, we can say that India has four main seasons:

Autumn or post-monsoon (from October to mid-December): This is one of the best times to travel to India, as temperatures are warm but moderate, the rainy season has ended, and skies are usually clear. In October, in northern India (states of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, etc.), the average daytime temperature is 30-35 degrees Celsius, with lows of around 18-20 degrees Celsius at night. From November onwards, temperatures gradually decrease but remain very pleasant. Meanwhile, in some areas of southern India, the monsoon may still bring rain.

Winter (mid-December to late February): While December and January are the coldest months, it's still one of the best times to travel to India. In the states of Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, the average daytime temperature is 22-25 degrees Celsius, with lows of around 8-10 degrees Celsius at night. In the south, temperatures are somewhat higher (around 28-30 degrees Celsius), making it an ideal time to enjoy the beaches of Goa and Kerala. If you travel to the states north of Delhi (Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand) during this time, keep in mind that it will be colder: an average daytime temperature of around 15 degrees Celsius, with lows that can reach 3 degrees Celsius near the mountains. Travel to Ladakh is not recommended during this period due to very low temperatures and road closures caused by snow.

Spring (March, April, and May): This is the hottest season, with temperatures gradually rising from 30 degrees Celsius in early March, reaching up to 45 degrees Celsius in May and early June. It's the ideal time to travel to the states north of Delhi (Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand), where temperatures are cooler, and from May onwards, also to Ladakh, as the roads reopen.

Monsoon (June, July, August, and September): During these months, India's climate has its own name: "monsoon." This is the rainy season, which typically begins in early or mid-June and lasts until the end of September. However, while rain is to be expected, traveling during the monsoon season offers several advantages, such as much more pleasant temperatures than in the preceding months and lower prices. Furthermore, during the monsoon, the rains tend to be intermittent, with downpours lasting a few hours, after which the sun reappears. As mentioned, this is also the ideal time to travel to Ladakh.
