India Climate

ndia is so vast that the climatic conditions are much varied. India has mainly 3 seasons a year-Rainy (June-September: SW monsoon: October -November: NE Monsoon Summer (April-July) and Winter (mid-October-February).

The best time to visit is during the winter (November to April), except the Himalayan region where April to September is the best time. In S. India there is no winter as such-is marked by clear sky, hot day and cool night.

This type of weather condition prevails from Sept. to March. The rainy season sets in with the onset of south west monsoon over Kerala, usually on June It progresses northward and covers the whole nation by end of July. The eastern coastal belts-Coast of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, experience north east monsoon during Oct. and Nov. when it is winter in north India.

Along the East Coast this period is also marked by cyclones which cause widespread destruction of crops, lives and property. It develops due to severe atmospheric depression in the Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean and moves towards the main- land often hitting at high speed. Rarely do West Coast experience such cyclone effects.
