Climate
India extends from the soaring Himalayas to the Indian Ocean coast, encompassing half a dozen climatic regions. Generally, though, the country has a tropical climate, dominated by monsoons, heat and humidity. Tropical hurricanes and cyclones are also part of the general weather outlook in the middle and end of the year, especially in coastal areas. The best time to travel to the south of India is between January and September, but the north-eastern regions are most pleasant weather-wise between March and August. The mountains are best during the summer, between May and September.
