Best time to visit Delhi

Winter season (November to February) – peak season
Delhi winters are generally mild to cool, with average temperatures around 7–20°C (45–68°F). Clear days and crisp evenings make it a pleasant time for sightseeing and outdoor walks. This is a popular period for events and festivals, so the city feels particularly lively.

Summer season (April to June) – shoulder season
Summers are hot, with daytime temperatures often around 30–40°C (86–104°F). Many attractions are quieter at midday, so early morning and late evening are the most comfortable times for exploring. Air-conditioned malls, museums, and cafés offer welcome breaks from the heat.

Monsoon and post-monsoon (July to October) – low season
During the monsoon, showers bring relief from the earlier heat, with average temperatures of 25–32°C (77–90°F). You may experience short, intense rains followed by fresh, green cityscapes. This season can be rewarding if you plan flexible sightseeing and carry light rain protection.
