WHEN TO GO TO INDIA

Climate plays a key factor in deciding when to visit India.You should keep in mind that climate conditions in the far north are distinctly different to those of the extreme south.

          Generally speaking,India's climate shows three seasons-

                               1.the hot

                               2.the wet

                               3.the cool

HOT SEASON-The heat starts to build up in India from around February and by April it seriously warms up.it can get unbearably hot in may and June,with many parts of the country experiencing temperature of 40 'c and above.late in may the first signs of monsoon are visible in some areas-high humility,electrical storms,short rainstorms and dusts toms that turn day in to night.The hot season is the time to flee the baking plains and head for the cooler hills,and this is when hill stations are at their best.
WET SEASON-When the monsoon finally arrives,it doesn't suddenly appear.After some advance warning,the rain comes in steadily,generally starting around 1 June in the extreme south and sweeping north to cover the whole country by early of July.The monsoon doesn't really cool things down;at first hot,dry and dry weather is simply replaced by hot,humid and muddy conditions.It doesn't rain solidly all day,but it rains virtually everyday;the water tends to come down in buckets for a while,followed by periods of sun,creating a fatiguing steam bath -like environment.

COOL SEASON-From October the monsoon ends for most of the country and this is when India receives most tourists-however,by this time it's too cold to visit Ladakh.during October and November it's generally not too hot and not too cool.Around mid December to mid January , Delhi and other northern cities can become astonishing cold,especially at night.It certainly become bone-chillingly cold in far north.In far south,where it never gets truly cool,the temperature become comfortably warm during this period.
