India is a big tropical country and is famous for its diverse climatic features. Most of India falls within the monsoon climate (south and west India) but the wider locations within India include very different climatic characteristics.

South and West India has a typical tropical monsoon-based climate. There is heavy rain almost continuously in the months of June, July, August and September. The South-west Monsoon winds first hit the Western coast from the Arabian Sea. They continue traveling towards the north-east, till they dry out.

The seasons are:

  • Winter (January and February)
  • Summer (March to May)
  • Monsoon (rainy) season (June to September)
  • Post-monsoon period (October to December)

The Eastern coast also receives rain in November from the North-east monsoon winds, which sweep into the mainland from the Bay of Bengal.

In Northern India, the climate is very cold due to the higher elevation of the Himalayas.

In Central India, near Delhi, the climate is dry, but with greater humidity nearer to the coast. Temperature can rise as high as 42°C in the summer in the central part of the country, while it falls to the negative range in the winter in the Himalayas.
