Best Time to Visit Delhi

The Golden Window (October to March): * Weather: Pleasant (15°C) to chilling (2°C in January).

• The Vibe: The city comes alive with outdoor festivals like Diwali (October/November) and the Surajkund Crafts Mela (February).

• Note: Expect heavy fog and high pollution (smog) in November and December.

The Scorching Trial (April to June): * Weather: Extreme heat (40°C–48°C).

• Strategy: Sightseeing must be limited to 6:00 AM – 9:00 AM and after 7:00 PM. Indoor museums like the National Museum are your refuge.

The Lush Monsoon (July to September): * Weather: Humid with sudden, heavy downpours.

• The Vibe: The Lodhi Gardens turn emerald green. It’s the best time for photography, though road traffic becomes nightmarish due to waterlogging.
