Northwestern regions of India has summer season from April to July and the other parts from March to June.
April gets more hotter in the Western and Southern india and May in the northern parts. In the coastal regions temperature usually gets around 36°C in summer. Ladakh and Zanskar, Spiti, northern Kinnaur and some areas of northern Uttaranchal has low humidity most of the time, not more than a few centimeters of rainfall a year with occasional heavy rainstorms during July and September and the coldest temperatures found anywhere in the world during the winter season. Climatically, these regions are most travel-friendly in September. In case of the Kashmir Valley and the lower Warvan and Chenab valleys in Jammu and Lahaul, April and May bring about heavy precipitation, months from December to March experience heavy snow falls and the months from May to mid-October are comparably more favorable for travelling.
