Weather and Climate
The climate of India can broadly be classified as a tropical monsoon one. There are four seasons:
- winter (December-February)
- summer (March-June)
- south-west monsoon season (June-September)
- post monsoon season (October-November)
- Hot tropical weather with variations from region to region. Coolest weather lasts from November to mid-March, with cool, fresh mornings and evenings and dry, sunny days. Really hot weather,is between April and June. Monsoon rains occur in most regions in summer between June and September.
Required clothing:.
Lightweight cottons and linens in summer with warmer clothes in winter and on cooler evenings. Waterproofing essential during monsoons. Warmer wear for winter. Weather can change rapidly in mountains and it is therefore important to be suitably equipped.
