The Indian capital city of New Delhi remains hot and humid during the summer months and is cold during the winters. The average temperature of New Delhi ranges from 25°C to 46°C during summer and 2°C to 5°C during winter. The cold wave from the Himalayan region makes the winters in New Delhi very chilly. In summers, the heat wave in New Delhi is immense and adequate precaution has to be taken before going out in the afternoons.

The best time to visit Delhi is in October-November and in February-March, when the nights are cool and the days filled with mellow sushine. December and January can be a little gloomy in Delhi while mid-summer (May, June and July) is searingly hot with temperatures over 45C; it is a dry heat and is sometimes accompanied by dusty desert winds. Most of the rain falls between July and September but they are not the tropical rains you'll experience in India's coastal cities.
