Check the live forecast above for current conditions across India. Given the country’s vast size, weather varies dramatically — from humid coasts in Mumbai and Goa to drier inland plains in Punjab and Ahmedabad — so use the regional data to plan your day.
What is India’s climate like?
India experiences a tropical monsoon climate with three main seasons: cool, dry winter (November to February); hot, dry summer (March to May); and the wet monsoon (June to September). Temperatures range from near‑freezing in northern regions such as Punjab and Uttar Pradesh during winter to above 40°C in central and western areas like Ahmedabad and Hyderabad in summer. Coastal cities such as Mumbai, Goa and Kerala remain humid year‑round, while the north-east and parts of Kerala receive the heaviest rainfall.
When is the best time to visit different regions?
For most of northern India, including Delhi, Punjab and Rajasthan, October to March offers pleasant weather. The hill stations of Himachal and Uttarakhand are best visited from April to June. Coastal destinations such as Goa and Kerala are ideal from November to February, when humidity drops and skies clear. Mumbai is comfortable between November and February, though the monsoon (June–September) can cause travel delays. The 10‑day forecast above will help you fine‑tune your plans for a specific city.
What is the weather like in Goa during December?
December in Goa is dry, sunny and warm, with daytime highs around 32°C and cooler evenings near 20°C. It is the peak tourist season because of the pleasant conditions.
When does the monsoon start in Mumbai?
The monsoon typically reaches Mumbai in early June, bringing heavy rain and high humidity through September. Showers are frequent, so check the live forecast above for daily updates if travelling.
Is it safe to travel to India during the monsoon?
Yes, but plan carefully. Coastal areas face flooding and landslides; road and rail delays are common. Carry waterproof clothing and monitor local forecasts. The live forecast above is a useful tool for each region.
