New Delhi in June
Not the best time
Still scorching hot but with occasional pre-monsoon relief. The anticipation of monsoon makes everyone restless, and tourist infrastructure operates on reduced schedules.
Weather
June continues the intense heat with temperatures often touching 45°C during heat waves. Pre-monsoon storms bring dust, wind, and occasionally a brief respite. Humidity starts building as monsoon approaches.

All Months
October through March gives you Delhi at its most pleasant—clear skies, manageable heat, and festivals lighting up the calendar. November and December are perfect, with temperatures hovering around 20-25°C during the day. January gets chilly at night (down to 5°C), so pack layers. February brings spring flowers to Lodhi Gardens and comfortable walking weather. But avoid April through September unless you enjoy feeling like you're inside an oven. May hits 45°C regularly, and monsoon season (July-September) turns the city into a humid mess. Here's the trade-off: winter months mean higher hotel prices and crowded attractions, but you'll actually want to explore the city instead of hiding in air conditioning. Book accommodation early for December and January—Delhi's wedding season drives up demand.
