India Weather Climate
The India weather and the seasons can play a key factor in any India travel which is usually best during the cooler period from November to mid or late February.
The sub-continent is so vast, 2,000 miles from north to south and west to east, nearly as far, that the India weather and temparatures are so different in the north, central nad southern areas.
The climate can be generally regarded as three seasons - hot, wet (the monsoon) and cool, and each varies both in degree and duration.

The India Weather winter amonths (November to March) are pleasant in most of India, with bright sunny days and cool nights. In the northern plains however, the minimum temparature at times drops steeply.

The Monsoon
When the monsoon finally arrives the rain comes in steadily. In the extreme south it arrives at the beginning of June and moves northwards to cover the whole country by early July. The main monsoon arrives from the southwest but southen Kerala and the southeast coast are largely affected by the short and wet northeast monsoon, bringing rain between October to early December

Undertake India travel in the monsoon and you can expect hot, humid and muddy conditions. It may not rain all day but it rains virtually every day. Humidity risies as the sun follows and this creates an unpleasant and tiring atmosphere.
Most foreign tourists start their India travel from October when the monsoon has ended in most of the country, though the best period for Ladakh is May to October
