All Months
October through March is when Agra shows its best face. Temperatures hover around 15-25°C, perfect for monument hopping without melting. December and January mornings can be foggy, which creates moody photos but might delay your sunrise Taj plans. February is ideal - clear skies, comfortable temperatures, and the gardens around the Taj are in bloom. Avoid April through September unless you enjoy 45°C heat and monsoon downpours. The summer months see fewer crowds, but you'll understand why when you're sweating through your shirt by 9 AM. If you must visit in summer, plan all outdoor activities before 10 AM and after 5 PM. Winter evenings require a light jacket, especially if you're doing sunset photography at Mehtab Bagh.
