Which Months are hot in India?
In India, the hot months primarily encompass the period from March to June. Here’s a detailed breakdown:
March: The onset of hotter temperatures, particularly in northern and central India. Average temperatures start to rise, often ranging from 25°C to 35°C (77°F to 95°F).
April: Temperatures continue to increase, with many regions experiencing highs between 30°C and 40°C (86°F to 104°F). This month marks the beginning of consistent hot weather across much of the country.
May: One of the hottest months, with widespread temperatures often exceeding 40°C (104°F). This is typically the peak of the heat wave season, especially in inland areas.
June: The early part of June remains extremely hot, with temperatures frequently above 35°C (95°F). However, by the end of the month, the monsoon season starts to arrive in southern and western parts of India, bringing some relief.
July and August: Although the monsoon brings cooling rains, some regions, particularly in northern and northwestern India, can still experience hot and humid conditions. Daytime temperatures often remain high, especially before the full impact of the monsoon is felt.
September: As the monsoon begins to withdraw, temperatures can rise again, making it hot in many areas, especially in the northern and northwestern parts of the country. However, overall, it’s slightly cooler than the peak summer months.
Regions like Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra (especially Vidarbha region), and parts of central and northern India typically experience the most intense heat during these months. Coastal regions and areas with higher altitudes may have more moderated temperatures but can still be quite warm.
