India has hot tropical weather with variations occurring region to region. Because of the sheer size of the country, the climate depends not only on the time of year, but also on the location. While the heat is unbearable in the Gangetic plain, the people of Ladakh shiver in the snowy cold. Most of India has just two main seasons -

Winter lasts from December to February, And summer from March to May. In India, summer is hot everywhere, except in the hill station comes alive at this time of the year to celebrate its "holiday season". The post- monsoon and winter are generally the most pleasant times of year throughout the country-and this is the best time to travel across the country. In general, temperatures tend to be cooler in the north, especially between September and March. Winters in India are pleasant with plenty of sunny days. Most of North India remains dry, dusty, and unpleasant during the summer months. The south is pleasant between November and January. Summers are unbearably hot in the plains . In June, winds and warm surface currents begin to move northwards, 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.

Thought the word "monsoon" often brings to mind images of torrential floods and landslides, the monsoon seasons are not bad times to come to India. Though it rains nearly every day, the downpour tends to come and go quickly.

For a tourist, India provides ample opportunities. You can explore India in the seasons, though you will have to be selective about the destinations.
