What is the weather like in India in January?

Responds Maria Dashkevich, "India-Tour" company - $
The territory of India is quite large covering several climatic zones, therefore in different regions of the country the weather in January is different.

In northern India at the level of Delhi, the average January temperature is +17 .. + 24 degrees, but the minimum by the end of the month can be +1 .. + 2 degrees in the evening-night and morning time.

From the end of December to late January in the evening, in the morning and at night can be strong fogs, which cause delays in the departure and arrival of aircraft, as well as the reason for the delay in the train.

In the Himalayas, at an altitude of 1500 to 2300 m above sea level, between December and February, the average minimum temperature is already negative, to -3, and the average maximum is +4 .. + 8. Abundant snow at high altitudes makes many areas of the Himalayas inaccessible for visiting in winter and in the first half of spring.

Therefore, in Ladakh, Kashmir, the mountain resorts Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, it is better to start from May.

In Goa and south, for example, in Kerala, in January the weather is excellent. The average temperature is + 27.
