Amritsar in June
Not the best time
Honestly, unless you have a specific reason to be here, skip June. The heat is overwhelming and even locals avoid unnecessary outdoor activities during the day.
Weather
June is brutal with temperatures soaring to 42°C and nights offering little relief at 28°C. Pre-monsoon humidity makes it feel even hotter. Occasional dust storms and thunderstorms provide temporary relief but add to the oppressive atmosphere.

All Months
October through March is Amritsar's sweet spot. The weather stays pleasant, perfect for exploring on foot without melting into the pavement. December and January can get surprisingly cold — pack a jacket for early morning temple visits when the marble floors feel like ice.
Avoid April through September unless you enjoy testing your heat tolerance. Summer temperatures hit 45°C regularly, and the monsoon months bring humidity that makes walking feel like swimming through soup. The Golden Temple stays beautiful year-round, but you'll appreciate it more when you're not sweating through your clothes.
Bandi Chhor Divas (usually in November) transforms the Golden Temple into a festival of lights that rivals Diwali. The crowds triple, but the atmosphere is electric. Book accommodation months ahead if you're planning to visit during this celebration.
