Spring: February to March
Pleasant days, cool nights and flowers everywhere. The Rose Festival is held in the Rose Garden in this season.
Summer: April to June
It gets very hot, especially in May and June, when afternoon temperatures often go above 40°C. Dust storms and short thunderstorms are common. Walk and cycle early, carry water and stay out of the afternoon sun.
Monsoon: July to September
Heavy showers and high humidity. Low-lying roads can flood briefly after a downpour. Sukhna Lake fills up and the hills turn green.
Autumn: October to November
Clear, comfortable days. Air quality can get worse in late October and November, when smoke from crop-residue burning in the region drifts in. Check the AQI before a long run.
Winter: December to January
Cold nights and dense fog, especially in the mornings. Flights and trains are often delayed by fog. Days are often sunny and pleasant once the fog lifts.
