Inter-monsoon season (March–April, October–November), shoulder season, typically sees daytime temperatures around 27–32°C (81–90°F). Expect short afternoon showers that quickly clear the air, making evenings pleasant for city walks, rooftop views, and exploring open-air food streets.

Southwest monsoon (May–September), peak season, has warm, humid days averaging 27–33°C (81–91°F). Rainfall is moderate and often brief, so you can comfortably plan shopping, indoor attractions, and park visits with light layers and a flexible schedule.

Northeast monsoon (December–February), low season, brings slightly cooler temperatures of about 26–31°C (79–88°F) and more frequent showers. This period is ideal if you enjoy a softer light for photography, quieter shopping hours, and relaxed sightseeing between bursts of rain.
