India Weather Guide SOUTH

The mainly coastal climate is created by the Arabian Sea towards the west and the Indian Ocean to the South. Most pleasant period is from November to March. Summer is not as hot as in the north but the humidity is extreme. The Monsoon is between late April and July. Coastal areas have cool sea breezes while there is relatively low rainfall and generally a pleasant climate.

Ignore the India weather during monsoon and you can expect hot, humid and muddy conditions. It may not rain all day but it rains virtually every day. Humidity rises as the sun follows and this creates an unpleasant and tiring atmosphere. Most foreign tourists start their India tour from October when the monsoon has ended in most of the country, though the best period for Ladakh is May to October.
