The Indian climate comprises of a wide range of weather condition across varied topology and large geographical area. During the months of November to March, generally the weather remains cool. It is the best time for the tourist to go for India tour.
India hosts six major climatic subtypes, ranging from desert in the west, to alpine tundra and glaciers in the north, to humid tropical regions supporting rain forests in the southwest and the island territories. Many regions have starkly different micro climates.
The nation has four seasons:
Winter (January and February).
Summer (March to May).
Monsoon (rainy) season (June to September).
Post-monsoon period (October to December).
India's unique geography and geology strongly influence its climate; this is particularly true of the Himalayas in the north and the Thar Desert in the northwest. The Himalayas act as a barrier to the frigid katabatic winds flowing down from Central Asia. Thus, North India is kept warm or only mildly cold during winter; in summer, the same phenomenon makes India relatively hot. Although the Tropic of Cancer-the boundary between the tropics and subtropics-passes through the middle of India, the whole country is considered to be tropical.
