Tropical monsoons - this is what the climate of India is doing so different, although the whole country is located in one subequatorial belt. The famous rainy season begins with the arrival of the summer monsoon. He blows from the Indian Ocean. On the west coast, he becomes stronger in early June, and on the eastern, where Bengal is located in the middle of the month. Moving over the waters of the Bengal Bay and the Arabian Sea, the monsoons absorb a lot of moisture. They pass on India from the north to the West, rising in Western Gate and the Assam mountains. Their speed ranges from 16 to 24 km / h. Here the monsoshs are often spilled by abundant precipitation. In June, thunderstorms are raging on these slopes. But gradually they are becoming weaker and less often. At the end of September or mid-October, the shower goes to no. Now the weather forms the northeast monsoon. He blows from sushi. It comes dry, cool and clear weather.
In India, you can distinguish three seasons. They are different in precipitation, winds and temperatures. From November to February, northeast monsoon prevails. Weather are cool, dry and sunny. In March, mercury stoblik begins to go up. From the end of the month and until June in the country is warm and dry. Then the weather becomes unbearable hot and rainy. From mid-July and until September, wet weather is held. She brings summer monsoon. The heat drops a little only for a while when the sky is covered with clouds and pours, like from the bucket. But in the general southwest wind brings a high temperature. In October, the rains stop, but the humidity still keeps due to evaporation.
Large India Square. She spreads on the mountains and in the depressions, on the coast and in the depths of the sushi. Therefore, the contrasts of temperature and precipitation are bright. The Tar Desert receives only 100 mm rains for the year. And in the mountains of Khasi, there is one of the most wet places of the planet. This is the Cherapundy station, where it can fall up to 10770 mm.
Five climatic regions of India
The most influence of the monsoon is on the coastal of the Arabian Sea (East Coast of India). The cold period is installed here from December to February. The average minimum temperature at this time is + 19 ... + 20, and the average maximum is + 28 ... + 30. The precipitation drops a little - 70-80 mm per month. The heat keeps in May and June. The corresponding temperatures increase to + 25 ... + 27 and + 30 ... + 33, respectively. All tolerate it easily, because it is combined with dry air. Even in the morning relative humidity does not have more than 60%. But dryness causes dust storms. Wind gusts raise dirty-yellow clouds in the air. Musson comes in June. At this time, the wind increases, becomes overcast. Such weather keeps September. Frequent small rains bring a lot of precipitation. July is the most rainy month. Then it can fall to 600 mm. Sunny days becomes less, and the temperature is reduced by a pair of degrees.
On the shores of the Banga Bay (West Coast of India) Seasonal winds do not have such power over the climate. The amount of precipitation caused by them is reduced, and temperature fluctuations become sharper. From December to February, it is cold here, the average minimum temperature is + 12 ... + 15, and the average maximum - + 26 ... + 29. Precipitation is also a bit, 63-70 mm. From May to June, hot days last. The corresponding temperatures are rising to + 24 ... + 26 and + 33 ... + 35. But it is more complicated by this heat, because air humidity rises to 70-80%. From May to September, Musson brings precipitation. Drops 100 mm. July is the most rainy month. Then this figure increases to 300.
Tourists traveling on south India Get acquainted with Ayurveda, do not pay attention to the weather. Cool here does not happen, the temperature does not fall below +25. But from June to September on the beaches of Goa and in Kerala are raining. Therefore, the beach holiday is possible from October to the beginning of May, when heat rises to + 28 ... + 32. In Tamil-Nad, the rainy period shifts to October-December. Accordingly, the beach season lasts from January to August. Then the temperature increases to + 30 ... + 40.
Indo-Ganges Plain (Central Districts of the country) Different with a more moderate climate. From December to February, the cold period lasts here. The average minimum temperature is + 6 ... + 10. Cold with a small drop of mercury pinches below zero. The average maximum temperature is + 21 ... + 23. The heat lasts in May and June. The corresponding temperatures are rising to + 26 ... + 28 and +40. Humidity at this time is small, no more than 45%. The dry season is November-December. Every month of rain is no more than 3 mm. Large sediments come in July and stay until October. July is considered the most wet. 2330 mm of precipitation falls. This is not a beach place, so the tourist season lasts all year. Nonal rains will not interfere with him. But the period from the end of December for the middle of February is considered the coldest. Temperature day - +20, at night - +5, in the morning there may be foggy. Hot time lasts from May until June (+ 40 ... + 45), in August, the temperature falls to +38.
Climate Himalayav Changes with a height. If we climb from 1500 to 2300 meters, in the winter months you can catch the average minimum temperature below zero (0 ... -3). The average maximum is + 4 ... + 8. At this time even snow. From April to June and in October-November in Himalayas come tourists to ride skiing. The heat lasts from July to August. The corresponding temperatures are changed by + 14 ... + 18 and +29 .. + 30. But the summer monsoon does not have any influence. The most dry months here from September to November (25-35 mm), the most humid - March (100 mm). Rainy season - from July to September.

Climate Goa
The favorable climate of Goa is one of the most important factors attracting tourists from around the world. Warm weather creates a cozy atmosphere for everyone. Constantly blowing sea breeze and affectionate waves will take all the concerns away.
The hottest month in Goa considers May when the temperature can reach 35? C combustion with high humidity. January and February are the coldest months if the term "cold" is generally applicable in this case - the minimum temperature at night can fall to 20? S. The remaining months in Goa prevails the tropical climate. Southeast Monspi brings rain from June to September. July is considered the rainy month.
From October to May, the season opens - charters from Moscow begin to fly in Goa. The most "peak" time - from December to March. And the most favorable weather is at this time: a clear sky, a small humidity, during the day somewhere 27-30? With in the sun, constantly blowing the breeze, the warm sea (even too warm). But because This period is considered in Goa in winter, the vegetation is appropriate. Yellow and brown tones prevail, dry grass, places specially burned, yellow palm trees. It is said that Goa is especially beautiful immediately after the rainy season, i.e. In September-October.
Climate Kekaly
Climate Kerala is a subequatorial monsoon. The main feature of the clitte of these latitudes are tropical monsoons. Here two monsoon periods are the main in June-July, the second - in October. The rains in Kerala brings the summer monsoon penetrating from the Indian Ocean, which intensifies in early June on the west coast.
On the coast of the Arabian Sea, where Kerala is located, the monsonic climate is expressed to the greatest extent. In the period from December to February, the average minimum air temperature is +19 - +21 degrees, the average maximum +28 - +30 degrees. In the same period, the lowest amount of precipitation falls, about 60-70 mm per month.
The hottest time is from May to June, when the average minimum temperature is +25 - +27 degrees, the average maximum +30 is +33 degrees. Such high temperatures are transferred easily, as the air is dry, the relative humidity does not exceed 60%.
Best time to visit:
The most "peak" time to visit Goa - from December to March. And the most favorable weather is at this time: a clear sky, a small humidity, during the day somewhere 27-30C.The best time to relax in Kerala is the period from October to March. At this time, the average temperature varies from +21 to +32 degrees.
And the best months for traveling in India is November and December.
The climate of India is a tropical monsoon for most of the country, a subequatorial - in the south of the country, moderate - in the northern part of India, and Alpine - in the mountains and foothills of Himalayas. In addition, due to the vast territory of India, the climate of each particular region depends, as well, from many local factors: for example, on the features of the relief, height above sea level, proximity to the ocean and to large reservoirs.
The most important climate-forming factors for the entire territory of India are the Himalayas and the Tar Desert. Himalayas, along with the Mountain System Hindukush, located on the territory of the neighboring Pakistan , prevent the cold air masses from Central Asia to India, prevent India from Central Asia and maintain a warm climate here than in neighboring countries on the same latitudes. And the Tar desert attracts the wet southwestern monsoon air masses, thereby providing precipitation and mitigating the climate.
India relief is extremely diverse. There are also the highest mountain peaks in the world - Himalayas, and tropical wet forests, and large deserts, and green meadows, and stretched sandy beaches. Accordingly, the weather and air temperature and climate are in general, differ very much, depending on the region. For example, in the highlands of the Himalayas, the temperature roundly holds below zero and the vertices always lies snow. On the entire central territory of the country never can be cold, and many trees do not even dump the foliage. And in the south of the country there are the best Indian beaches, where the rest season, to the word to say - winter!
It is India first beats all climatic records! Here, in the town of Dradi State, Jammu and Kashmir, a very low temperature of the air was recorded, which was -45 ° C. And on the glacier Xiachen, which is a controversial territory with Pakistan, but actually controlled by India, the temperature of -55 ° C (!) Was noted. A record high temperature was recorded in Alvar, Rajasthan, and amounted to + 50.6 ° C (!). And in the state of Orissa not so long ago another record was recorded - + 55 ° C during the daytime. In addition, it is in India that is the wet place on the planet! Cherapundy city in Meggala can boast a record number of precipitation - about 12,000 mm per year! Such a large amount of precipitation is explained by the geographical position, relatively close to both the Bengal bay and the Himalayas. But in Mumbai, the largest rainfall was recorded, which fell for one day - 650 mm!
On the other hand, such a soft and favorable climate brings this country and unpleasant surprises. Every year, in the summer months, most of the territory of the country rules the monsoon season, which is more rampant in the southern part of the Industan Peninsula, just on, all the favorite, beach resorts. In June, there are so strong thunder shower here that it seems that the ocean turned over. This monsoon is gaining momentum at the very beginning of the summer, fueling on the path of the Bengal and Arabian moisture, and after floating over India, moving towards the North-West.
Well, there, some monsoon, when the territory of India, with enviable constancy, shakes various natural disasters associated with the climate. The most common natural disasters in India is floods, droughts, tropical cyclones, avalanches, landslides, blizzards, dust storms and a large hail, which sometimes spoils wheat and rice. Many these troubles are to blame for a person.
At the bottom of the Himalayas, landslides are a real disaster. The deforestation caused by clearing areas for agricultural land and construction contributes to the development of landslides and distribute them in the territory. Winter landslides - avalanches are very frequent in regions such as Kashmir, Sikkim and Himachal Pradesh.
When the south-western monsoons dominates the territory of India in abundance giving her their precipitation, many rivers, such as Brahmaputra, come out of the shores and flood the adjacent territories. And here we face the most common natural disaster in India - flooding. Floods are subject to, hardly, not all the territory of the country. Since the majority of the population of India live poorly, practically, in their own tents or shala, floods lead to severe destruction and numerous victims. Too intense monsoon sediments can wash off grain crops at all.
In the southern part of the country, tropical cyclones often bring shower, storm rings and severe devastating winds. Each year in India is noted, on average, 8 strong storms, with wind speed of more than 63 km / h, and the speed of individual wind gusts often reaches more than 117 km / h. The strongest and destructive storms are embroidered on the east coast of India, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Bengal Bay (above which, most of the tropical cyclones actually originate). The Indian Coast of the Arabian Sea is relatively calm and is experiencing the effect of cyclones extremely rare. Usually such cyclones are hit along the coast of Gujarat and even more rarely - on Kerala. Because of the storms and hurricanes caused by cyclones, several thousand people die in India annually.
If some regions of India experience a huge excess of precipitation, another region, on the contrary, they are very lacking. Eastern Maharashtra, North Carnatak, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Gujarat and Rajasthan are especially strongly susceptible to droughts. Strong droughts are the cause of reducing yield, and as a result - the cause of mass hunger ( in the past century, from one strong drought in India died of hunger, on average, 5 million people (!!!) ). The cause of drought is the change of pressure regions in the southern part of the Indian Ocean and the associated dry air thrust from Central Asia. These are these reverse air flows and are the cause of Indian droughts. Moreover, scientists were able to prove that changes in the surface temperature of the central part of the Pacific Ocean directly depends on the degree of drought in India.
For the most part of the country, three main climatic seasons can be distinguished: winter (October - February), summer (March - June) and rainy season (June - September), the duration of which depends on a particular region and can change from year to year.
Winter in India
Winter months in India, traditionally, the coldest. But, this does not mean that in the winter it is impossible to relax in the country, because the territory of India is huge, and everyone will find a lesson in the soul. The lowest air temperatures are kept naturally in mountainous areas where the climate is gradually changing from a warm and sub-humid tropical (450 - 900 meters of height) through a warm moderate (900 -1 800 height meters), cold moderate (1,900 - 2,400 meters of height ) To the cold glacial and alpine (2,400 - 4,800 meters of height). At night and in the morning there are quite low air temperatures, and snow cover at an altitude of about 3,000 meters is, approximately 3 meters and lies from December to March. The average daily air temperature at such height is -5 - -8 ° C. Areas above 4,500 meters are in the eternal snow zone, and here is even colder. Three Indian states - Himachal-Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Utarkhand are experiencing heavy snowfall in winter, and blizzards are frequent in Jammu and Kashmir.
Indo-Gangskaya Plain, never gets precipitation in the form of snow. Sometimes the temperature in the northern regions of the country falls below 0 ° C, however, such cold rarely continues more than 1 to 2 days. But in Amritsar there are sharp decreases of temperature to -6 ° C. A distinctive feature of the central and northern regions of India in winter is a thick fog.
In the central regions of India in December, there is quite a balanced weather. For example, in Delhi and in Agra, the average daily air temperature in December is +21 - + 24 ° C, but at night it becomes very cool - +6 - + 9 ° С, while it is unlikely to rain this month.
In the eastern part of the country in December Worthel. In Calcutta, in December, the air warms up to + 25 ° C, and at night cool down to + 19 ° C. Rain and wind, also rare guests at this time of year. But in the western state of Maharashtra, despite the proximity to the state of Goa, the climate is more severe, and although the average daily air temperature in Mumbai in December may be about + 31 ° C, in the east of the state, closer to central air temperature can be lowered to + 10 ° C and even lower than 0 ° C. There is no rain, the average wind speed is 2 - 4 m / s, the temperature of the water in the Arabian Sea is + 27 ° C.
But the southern regions of India in the winter - a real tropical paradise! The summer prevails here and there is excellent weather. The average daily air temperature in Indian seaside resorts, such as Goa and Kerala ranges from + 31 ° C to + 35 ° C. Nights with a temperature of + 21- + 24 ° C bring coolness. Sea water temperature in December - +28 - + 29 ° C, very warm. For this month, it is characteristic, practically, the complete lack of rain, moulderness, and the humidity of the air is already quite acceptable for Europeans.
January - Winter Makushka and the coolest month in India. Nevertheless, over most of the territory of the country, the dry wind blows from the northeast, it is clear the weather, without sharp temperature differences, and with a minimum amount of precipitation. The exceptions are high-mountainous areas of the Himalayas, where in January is quite cold, and the air temperature often falls below -8 ° C. But here are full of tourists who prefer winter entertainment on a beach holiday. There are several ski resorts, among which the most popular - Gulmarg (Kashmir), Auli (Uttarakhand) and Manali (Himachal Pradesh).
Nezarko in January and in the capital of India - Delhi. Here, the air can warm up to +13 - + 22 ° C, with night cooling to +6 - + 13 ° C. Similar temperatures are observed in January and in agra. But the weather in this region, in general, is wonderful, very sunny, without rains and strong winds.
Calcutta is also warm and dry, but significantly hotter, the day of the thermometer may rise to + 28 ° C, and at night drop to + 12 ° C. There are no rainy days in Calcutta, no at that time and wind, the air "stands", and sometimes it is hard to breathe, especially next to the revolving noisy roads.
In Mumbai, the summer stands all year round, however, January here is considered a cool month, at least the air temperature in the afternoon and keeps in the area + 29 ° C, but with the sunset goes to + 19 ° C. The water temperature at the western coast is about + 25 ° C.
At the popular Indian beach resorts Goa and Kerala in January - "high" beach season. Tourists this month here at least debug, because the weather is more than comfortable and has nothing to do, and infinite water procedures. In the bright time of the day, the air in the resorts warms up to + 32 ° C, cooling at night to + 20 ° C. The water temperature reaches + 28 ° C. Precipitation in January is not foreseen, the wind is also quite weak. The level of humidity in the daytime is only 35%.
Weather in India in February overall dry and warm, and little different from January. To go skiing to go to the resorts of Himalayas, where at high heights up to 2,300 meters above sea level in February, there are comfortable air temperatures - -1 - -4 ° C, and with an increase in temperature height, it is noticeably decreased.
In Delhi and in Agra, the average daily air temperature ranges from + 15 ° C to + 22 ° C, the night air temperature is not high - only, +7 - + 11 ° C. The rains are unlikely, like wind.
In Calcutta in February, traditionally, warmer, the air temperature rises to + 28 ° C, and at night it drops to + 15 ° C. But on the west coast of India is hot - in Mumbai during the daytime, the air warms up to + 29 ° C, and at night is cooled to + 20 ° C. Rain and wind are unlikely.
Indian beach resorts are buried in tourists. Goa and Kerala, are still pleased with beach recreation. The average daily air temperature in February in these states is at + 31 ° C, in the dark time is very comfortable - + 26 ° C. Here, also dry and windlessly, and sea water temperature in February is + 27 ° C. Air humidity in February rises slightly, but, in general, does not exceed 40%.
Spring in India
Spring period, most of the country, begins in March. At the same time, in the southern states of India, spring, as such, it does not happen at all, since here a hot summer reigns here, and at the mountain tops of the Himalayas Spring, and not at all, it does not get - apparently it cannot climb, because there is no eternal year round year Merzlot. However, in the coldest mountain areas of India, it will noticeably warm, in March you can already observe the air temperature to + 15 ° C (at altitudes below 3,000 meters), and ski resorts on the slopes of Himalayas in March are closed.
In Delhi and in Agra in March, it becomes much warmer and even hot. The average temperature of the air fluctuates the day, within, from + 28 ° C to + 32 ° C, at night, also, noticeably warmer - from + 12 ° C to + 20 ° C. The probability of precipitation in March increases, but it is not necessary to fear, it is still very rare. Therefore, the Day of Heaven is clean, and the stars are visible at night.
In Calcutta, too, warm and clear, the average daily air temperature in March here is +29 - + 32 ° C, at night to + 22 ° C, rains, practically no. In Mumbai, daytime air temperatures are even higher - here the thermometer is not lowered in March below + 31 ° C, most often, the daily temperature reaches + 36 ° C, at night here + 22 ° C. Water in the Arabian Sea off the coast of Mumbai in March warms up to + 26 ° C.
In the southern regions of India in March, the "high" beach season continues. On Goa and in Kerala, the average daily air temperature rises to +32 - + 35 ° C, at night only up to + 28 ° C. The temperature of the water on the beach resorts ranges from + 27 ° C to + 30 ° C. There is no rain, although air humidity is greater than in the winter months. Periodically blowing the unnous southern winds, which only bring coolness.
In March, you can go to the Andaman Islands, where the refreshing sea breeze is constantly blowing, and the sea, even calm in the absence of rains, is ideal for diving.
April - mid spring, nothing new weather in India does not promise, well, in addition to extremely high air temperatures. The exception is perhaps only the mountainous areas of the country, where at an altitude of up to 2,500 meters above sea level, the temperature rises only to + 25 ° C. In the remaining territory of India in April, the unbearable heat reigns.
Thus, in the largest central cities of the country, such as Delhi and Agra, the average daily air temperature in April is + 38 ° C, and often the thermometer column overcomes this mark. At night, a little cooler, on average, +22 - + 25 ° C, the sky is clean, it rains are extremely unlikely. It is worth noting that such high air temperatures are very difficult to endure in large, dusty cities.
Approximately the same temperatures are observed in Calcutta. Here, on the mountain of tourists, even increased humidity is added to such frying, creating in the middle of the day just administrative conditions for traveling around the city. It is hot and in Mumbai, but here a small breeze from the sea softens a little heat. Water off the coast of Maharashtra warms up in April to + 29 ° C.
It is more comfortable to endure the April heat on the beach Indian resorts. On Goa and in Kerala, the average daytime air temperature in April reaches a mark of + 33 ° C, and at night the temperature is lowered, just a few degrees - to +26 - + 27 ° C. Because of the proximity of the sea, the heat is transferred here much easier, in addition, it will always be refreshing in the waters of the Arabian Sea, although they are in April, almost "boiled", because the water temperature off the coast of the resorts is heated to + 30 ° C. The humidity in April, compared to the winter months, is noticeably rising, because the rainy season is in front of the horizon, because of this holiday prices on popular beach resorts can be pleasantly surprised.
May - Very hot month in India. In addition, it is in May that the monsoon rainy season begins in many regions of the country. Air humidity increases, its indicators often exceed the April norm at times. Extraly often begins to blow a gusty wind, raising yellow clouds and dust clouds from the ground, covering the sky. This month, even the mountainous areas of India become an exception, where the beginning of the monsoon rainy season is accompanied by strong rains with thunderstorms.
In the central states of India, as such, the monsoon rainy season in May has not yet begins, nevertheless, precipitation becomes noticeably more. Here, another beach is very high, simply breathtaking daily air temperatures. For example, in large Indian cities, such as Delhi and Agra, the average daily air temperature in May ranges in the area +38 - + 43 ° C (!!!). That is, temperatures below + 38 ° С In May, do not even wait. At night, the temperature drops to + 26 ° C, but this temperature indicator does not bring tangible coolness.
In the east of the country, in the vicinity of Calcutta, in May, also hot, here the average daily air temperature reaches the mark of + 34 ° C, at night, on average, also, to + 26 ° C, with the humidity here much more than In Delhi and in Agra, and therefore, the heat is more noticeable. In Mumbai, due to the proximity of the Arabian Sea, more comfortable air temperatures, here, on average, + 33 ° C, at night - + 27 ° C. The water in the Arabian Sea warms up to +28 - + 30 ° C, however, for water procedures, Ma is not the best time, this month has strong and high waves that can only mascel the siefs. In addition, due to frequent sandy storms, the color of water changes to the sea, becomes muddy. By the end of the month, the amount of rains increases, they can go daily.
May is the last opportunity to relax on the Indian beach resorts, although this holiday will not always be pleasant. The southern states of India are the first who fall under the distribution of the monsoon rain season. And although, May is not the most rainy month, frequent rains will not make themselves waiting. Especially relevant rainy weather for the state of Kerala. Here, in May, precipitation drops a lot, in just a month there are only 6 - 8 days without precipitation. Not in the example of Kerala, on Goa in May you can still relax. The most comfortable will be rest in the first half of the month. The average daily air temperature in the resorts is kept at +32 - + 35 ° C, and the water temperature is + 30 ° C. In the second half of May, the sky is increasingly clouding with clouds, and even at all clouds, the wind increases, the moisture level is noticeably raised. Rain can go a few hours a day, or a cloudy day can change sunny. The big advantage for tourists is that the prices of rest in May decrease, about twice, and those who have long dreamed of visiting Goa can embody their dream of life for very little money. Well, the weather ... Well, what, in fact, the weather? At any time of the year she is unpredictable ...
Summer in India
Indian summer is wet and very roast. In the summer, there are unusually high temperatures in India, reaching + 50 ° C (!) And more! It is connected with strong, hot and dry winds, which flew in summer quite often in the north and northwest of the country. However, the mountainous areas do not concern that in the high regions of the dean plateau and other elevations in summer are usually somewhat cooler - the air temperature ranges from + 15 ° C to + 30 ° C, scoring on the Musson's plain here is powerless.
June is a rainy month. At this time, Musson brought over most of the territory of India, so the precipitation go, almost daily. In early June, on the west coast of the Arabian Sea, rains are particularly strong, and by the middle of the month they begin to move to Bengal - the east coast. Monsoon is bypassing the mountain peaks of Himalayas - here to relax in June will be more comfortable. But the mountains of Assam and Western gates rain poured well, in addition, strong winds blow here, at a speed of 16 - 24 km / h. The central flat part of the country is slightly less suspected - strong shower are several times a month.
In June, very hot. And even the rains are not able to calm the summer heat. In the largest central cities, such as Delhi and Agra, the average daily air temperature reaches +38 - + 40 ° C, at night, too, hot - up to + 28 ° C. The rains here are not present in such an abundance, and there are just a few times a month.
A little different setting with weather in the east of the country. For example, in Calcutta in June, too, it is also hot, the average daily air temperature is + 37 ° C, but it is accompanied by a rather high humidity, which is why the real steam room is formed in the city. In addition, in the east, the country of precipitation is significantly larger than in the central part, and approximately half a month in Calcutta are raining.
Thoroughly fills the western part of the country. In Mumbai in June, the sky is closed with dense clouds, and the precipitation is twice as much more than in Calcutta. At the same time, here a little cooler, the average day air temperature reaches + 32 ° C, and at night it drops to + 26 ° C. Strong gusts of the wind raise the clouds of dust, which color the horizon in the dirty-yellow color.
There is nothing to do in the Indian beach resorts in June. The average daily air temperature on Goa and in Kerala reaches + 30 ° C in the afternoon, I descend at night before and + 24 ° C. But, summer time is accompanied by abundant precipitation, and high humidity. Despite the high temperature of sea water, which in June reaches + 29 ° C, swim, it is unlikely, it turns out, because the sea is constantly a storm. In addition, the resorts are constantly overcast and very windy. The cost of rest in the summer season is very low, you can relax, literally, for a penny, while avoiding noisy crowd of tourists. But do you want to relax with such bad weather?
July is the hottest and the most rainy month in India. The highest air temperatures are observed in the central regions of India - here in the afternoon about + 45 ° C. The most comfortable weather in July will be in the foothills of Himalayas, where short-term precipitates are only refreshing, and the daily air temperature does not exceed + 30 ° C. The rest of the regions of India - or weak from the heat, or go crazy from abundant daily precipitation.
Thus, the average daily air temperature in July in Delhi and Agra is heated to + 35 ° C and higher, and the heat falls only at night, and then not much, at night here +26 - + 27 ° C. Precipitation, in general, a little, but noticeably more than in June.
Twice more precipitation in July, compared with June, is observed in the east of the country - in Calcutta. The rains go, practically, every day. At the same time, the air temperature is still rising, and is, on average, during the day +28 - + 34 ° C, at night +26 - + 30 ° C.
A lot of precipitation in July (twice as large than in the east of the country) falls on the west coast of India. Here the rains go every day, without exception, the sky is tightened with clouds, the air humidity is very high, the gusty winds walk through the streets, and the sea is a storm all the time and ejects algae and stones on the beaches. The average daily air temperature in July in Mumbai is lower than in the central and eastern regions of the country, and is +29 - + 30 ° C, dropping at night to + 25 ° C. Sea water temperature off the coast of Mumbai in July about + 25 ° C.
Still, a lot of precipitation and on the beach resorts of India. For the whole month there may be 5 sunny days, and the rest will be cloudy or overcast. The water from the coast of the resorts in July is free to + 28 ° C, but it is not so cool to swim, because it is very often poured.
In August, the rainy season continues. The exception is made up, traditionally, mountainous areas and the foothills of the Himalayas, the monsoons simply do not get here, and there is no severe heat here either. It is here who is more comfortable to rest in the summer months, at altitudes up to 3,000 meters above sea level, the daily air temperature rarely exceeds + 26 ° C, and at night it is very cool here - up to + 14 ° C.
It is hot in August in the central regions of the country. In Delhi and in Agra, the average day air temperature is +32 - + 33 ° C, at night - to +25 - + 26 ° C. There are precipitates, but they are becoming less than in the previous month. However, in August there may be windy, and a strong wind forms dense dust clouds that impede a comfortable visit and sightseeing sightseeing.
In the east of the country, in Calcutta, in August, too, it becomes less precipitation, but insignificant, they are still here, they are almost, every day. Sun is small, there is a constant cloudiness, although there are no winds. At the same time, the day and night air temperatures differ little - the day here, on average, + 30 ° C, at night - to + 26 ° C.
Above the west coast of India in August, thunderstorms rule the rains every day. The level of precipitation in Mumbai is very high, although a little lower than in July, also winds and storms on the sea are observed, and the average day air temperature in the city is still + 30 ° C.
Rest at the beach resorts of India in August is not the best idea. Here all the time is overcast, the rains are constantly walking, the storm is sea, and the air humidity remains very high. The average daily air temperature on Goa and in Kerala is + 28 ° C, at night a little cooler - to + 24 ° C. The water temperature near the coast of the resorts is quite high and is + 27 ° C.
Autumn in India
Autumn months are a great time to visit different corners of India and feel the contrast of the north and south. It is in the fall that you can see and visit the maximum of the regions, because the weather conditions are very good, practically everywhere in the country.
September is considered the last month of the rainy season. This month can be characterized by strong rains, high air temperatures and high humidity. Nevertheless, Musson gradually retreats, and in September, precipitation is significantly less than in the summer months. Still, more comfortable to travel by the foothills of Himalayas (Kulla, Ladakh, Kashmir, Sikhim and others), there are no monsoon rains, there is no crewing heat, and the weather is quite suitable for hiking and long walks in the mountains. Be careful: many mountain passes are closed at the end of the month.
India's central regions in September are also quite suitable for traveling. The average daily air temperature in Delhi and in Agra - no more than + 33 ° C, at night very comfortable +23 - + 25 ° C. The precipitation is a bit here, mainly solar weather.
In the east of the country in September, approximately similar temperature indicators are observed. The average daily air temperature in Calcutta is + 30 ° C, but the rains are much more here than in the central regions of the country, and the humidity of the air remains elevated.
Even more precipitation will be on the west coast of India. In September, in September, there are more than 14 rainy days in September, the sky is constantly tightened with clouds, the gusty winds walk, and the sea, still, strongly storms, and the waves reach a height of 5 - 6 meters. The average daily air temperature in September in Mumbai is + 29- + 30 ° C, at night a little cooler - about + 24 ° C. At the same time, the second half of the month is less rainy, and the number of sunny days is increasing and even the opportunity to swim, because the water temperature is + 28 ° C, and the sea is much smaller. Strong winds feed, the average wind speed is 2 - 3 m / s.
The average daily air temperature in September on Goa and in Kerala is +28 - + 29 ° C. But it rains here are not retreating here, and pour most of the month. The water temperature near the coast of the resorts is still, + 27 ° C. If you go on holiday in the second half of the month, you can quite well rest and very cheap, because the high season has not yet started and the price is still small. However, to catch good weather in September will be not easy (but perhaps!).
October - Transitional month in India. In October, it comes, the so-called postmussonic season, that is, the Musson's movement begins in the opposite direction. It is in October that the monsoon season is ends for most of the country's territory, the long-awaited coolness comes to the central regions, and Nature begins to prepare for the winter in the mountainous regions of Himalayas.
In October, it begins to increase the difference between day and night air temperatures in the central regions of the country. So, if in Delhi and in Agra, the average daily air temperature rises to +32 - + 34 ° C, then at night it becomes rather cool, and the air temperature drops up to +16 - + 20 ° C. The humidity of the air will be small, and the precipitation will be insignificant, therefore, October is one of the best months for traveling through these cities.
In the eastern regions, the country of precipitation in October is significantly reduced. Here in the sky, mostly, the bright sun shines, and white clouds swim on the blue sky. In addition, it becomes windless, in general, the weather acquires its best view. During the air in Calcutta heats up to +28 - + 35 ° C, and at night cool down to +22 - + 25 ° C.
In the Western regions of the country, the element is also retreating, and in October there is a wonderful, wonderful weather. The precipitation in Mumbai in October is even less than in Calcutta, although the air humidity is still quite high. The average day air temperature in the city is + 32 ° C, at night dropping to + 24 ° C.
India's beach resorts in October are re-filled with tourists, as the rains gradually retreat here. Rainy days here are still possible, but windy - unlikely, usually wind speed does not exceed 1 - 2 m / s in October. At the same time, resting better in the second half of the month - there is a big chance at all not to catch rainy days. It is preferable to rest in October on Goa, in Kerala will be much more precipitation. The average daily air temperature on these beach resorts is about + 31- + 32 ° C, and at night - +23 - + 24 ° C. Water off the coast of the spa to + 27 ° C, which means that water procedures will be more than pleasant. Since the rainy season is only over, air humidity is still high enough.
November is a great month, both for a beach holiday, and in general, for traveling around the country. Almost throughout India is sunny and warm, it rains very rare. The only place where you should not see, perhaps the foothills and mountainous areas of the Himalayas - the weather here in November to rarity nasty, the air temperature drops substantially, nature freezes, the sky clouds cloud, and instead of rain, it is more often snowing.
What you can not say about the central regions of the country. It is in November that can relax from the cockpit heat, because the air temperature is more than comfortable: the average daily air temperature in Delhi and in Agra in November holds at a mark +27 - + 29 ° C, but at night it can significantly get cold to +9 + 12 ° С, so that there will be warm things here. The precipitation in November is practically not observed, and the weather pleases the sun and warm.
In the east of the country, in Calcutta, the average daily air temperature in November - about + 29 ° C, at night, lowered to + 19 ° C. Days are clear and dry. In November, there is a windless, and precipitation is extremely small.
Little precipitation and on the west coast of India, here, also installed excellent weather. The average daily air temperature in November in Mumbai is about + 32 ° C, at night, approximately, + 23 ° C. Here, also the sun is shining daily, all winds are calm, the sea finally becomes calm, and the water temperature in the Arabian Sea is + 28 ° C. Humidity, also low - in one word, relaxing is very comfortable.
Indian beach resorts in November and damage holidaymakers. This time is the beginning of the high season on Goa and in Kerala, because here the weather is perfect: the bright sun, comfortable air temperature, warm and peaceful sea, as well as, incredibly bright paints of the surrounding nature - after all, after rainy season, rainy tropical vegetation appears in the whole Gras. The average daily air temperature on the resorts is +32 - + 34 ° C, the night temperature drops to +22 - + 24 ° C. Sea water warms up to + 28 ° C, you can sunbathe and swim in your pleasure, to do snorkeling and plunge into an unusually bright and exotic underwater world. It rains in November - a rare phenomenon, but in Kerala, traditionally, precipitation is greater than on Goa.
The precipitation in India falls extremely unevenly. The south-west monsoon comes to the territory of the country in the form of two main branches - the branch of the Bengal Bay and the branch of the Arabian Sea. The last branch is moving towards the field of low pressure over the desert package, and it is approximately 3 times stronger than the branch of the Bengal Bay. First, Musson reaches the territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bengal Gulf, then falls on the territory of the Malabarian coast in Kerala, then Mumbai reaches, then the central regions of the country. The branch of the Bengal Bay is moving to the northeast along the coast to the territory of Orissa, and then, turns into the north-west, to Indo-Ganga's plain.
The precipitation falls, on average, 60 -100 mm per year in the area of \u200b\u200bthe desert Tar in the west of the country, 300 - 400 mm of precipitation per year falls in the central regions of the dean, 3,000 - 6,000 mm of precipitation per year falls out in East Himalayas and on external slopes Gat. Some mountain villains and villages receive up to 12,000 mm of precipitation per year (!!!). The greatest rainfall areas are obtained at a height of 1,070 to 2,090 meters above sea level, above 2,090 meters their amount decreases sharply. The slopes above 5,000 meters above sea level never get rainfall.
When to go to India. To decide on the best time to travel in India, you first need to decide where exactly you want to go. India is so big and so multifaceted that it does not make sense to push a visit to several regions of the country in a two-week vacation. India requires special attention and careful study. So you first need to understand what you want to get from India first?
If a beach holiday is preferable for you, and you can not imagine a vacation without the sea - it means you are interested in southern states - Goa and Kerala. It is worth going from November to May - this is a high season, hotels are crowded with tourists, but the weather is optimal here for a beach holiday. Daily sun, high air temperatures, sea, like pair milk, and, practically, the complete lack of wind - Is it not that picture of paradise on earth? From May to October, it's not worth a nose to poke the nose - despite the extremely low prices, the weather here will be a core, daily rains, winds and a storm at sea will not give pleasure, even for a little money.
Those, someone poorly tolerates heat and high humidity, or those who want to conquer the tops of the highest mountain peaks, should be sent to the Himalayas in the summer months - from June to September. There are no monsoons here, and there are quite comfortable, not hot, sunny days - the best time to conquer vertices, walks, hiking and trekking. In addition, in the summer, almost all mountain passes are open, and this means that there is a magnificent opportunity to get to the most untouched corners of nature.
Lovers of winter sports, also in India, the lesson in the shower. In the winter months, from December to March, several ski resorts are open in the mountainous regions of the country. You will pleasantly surprise interesting tracks equipped with the latest technology, and a good level of service, as well as quite democratic prices. However, the air temperature in winter in the mountains can be very strong and sharply fluctuate from 0 ° C to -20 ° C, frequent snowfall and strong winds, due to which roads are closed, passages become impassable, and airports often suspend flights from the flights due to bad meteo conditions . To such turns of events, you need to be just ready.
To get acquainted with the rich history of the country and its unusual traditions and architecture, you can visiting the Golden Triangle of India (Delhi, Jaipur, Agra), as well as large cities in the central regions of the country. Their visit is best to leave during the cold season - from October to April. There will have a lot to walk and walk, and relatively cool weather and the lack of rains will make visiting local attractions as comfortable as possible. In the period from April and until October, there are very high air temperatures in the cities, to fully walk and move around the city in such a heat is not possible. In addition, in Rajasthan Head is complemented by exhausting dry winds with deserts and abundance of dust.
To visit the cities of the eastern part of India, such as Calcutta, Bhubaneshvar, Bhagalpur and others, perfectly suitable from November to May. At this time, precipitation, practically absent, the humidity level is minimal, the weather is solar, and you can comfort the sights with comfort. But in the period from May to October, it is better to avoid visiting these regions - they are literally poured tropical livne. In addition, the summer air temperature is catastrophically high, and in the aggregate with, almost one hundred percent air humidity, the feeling of "steam" is created, to withstand which is not for everyone.
The cities of the south-east coast of India, such as Chennai, Pondicherry, Macchilipatnam and others are advised to visit from January and April - at this time the air temperature is minimal and the amount of precipitation is noticeably reduced. From August to December, there are a lot of precipitation and raw materials here, and from April to August too hot.
The cities of the west coast of India, such as Mumbai, Ratnagiri and others warming up the whole year very evenly and here need to be focused on the amount of precipitation. A relatively dry period is the time from November to May - it will be the most comfortable months for traveling to this part of India. But the rest of the months (from May to October), the element is rampant here: endless tropical showers, coupled with the strongest winds, creating a storm at sea, will not give absolutely no pleasure, even a unpretentious tourist.

Spring
Spring in India is perhaps the most controversial time of the year. Usually in March and April on the coast there is an abnormal heat under + 35 ° C, and the rainy season begins in May. Rain can pour the "wall" for several hours. The most optimal region for travel at this time is the Himalayas and the northern regions of India.
Summer

Fall
In the fall in India, the rainy season ends and the swimming season begins. The air temperature remains at about + 31 ° C, but the absence of precipitation favorably affects the tourist business.
