India Weather & Climate | Spring & Summer
The weather information on this page is specific to Nat Hab's India Tiger Quest tour, which takes place in the warmer spring and summer months (April through June).
India’s climate is strongly influenced by the Himalayas and the Thar Desert, both of which drive the monsoons. The Himalayas prevent the cold Central Asian katabatic winds from blowing in, keeping the bulk of the Indian subcontinent warmer than most locations at similar latitudes. The Thar Desert plays a crucial role in attracting the moisture-laden southwest summer monsoon winds that, between June and October, provide the majority of India’s rainfall.
The weather during the summer months of April, May and June is extremely hot and primarily dry. Temperatures can soar well over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, with lows only dipping into the mid-80s Fahrenheit. However, as it will be approaching the start of the monsoon season, there is always a chance of rain this time of year.
