week of June to August, brings with it a lot of rain mainly in most parts of
the country. Winters, third week of September to end of February is quite
cold in entire Northern India, but mild in the Southern Peninsula.
There are large climatic variations in India due to its size and difference
in the altitude and nearness to sea of the places. While some parts of
Himalayas are quite enjoyable during the summers, North India reels under
the blazing sun. In fact, India is a destination for every season. Himalayan
ranges in the summers, North India in the winter, and Southern Peninsula
throughout the year. |
