The rest of India depends, however, on the monsoons. The two major monsoons hit the southwest and northeast in late May or early June. They usually advance inward over the next two months, raining water on most of India except the Himalayan foothills and the Deep South. The monsoon lets up in September, beginning India s cool season. December and January are cool to cold at night.
Winter is the best time to visit India, although some find the Indian hills too chilly.
Spring and autumn are the most popular times to go. By February, heat builds up across the plains. April, May, and June can be insanely hot, with temperatures of over 110 degrees Celsius.
