Best time to visit Delhi: month-by-month weather (2026)

February, March, October, and November stand out as the best months to visit Delhi, each carrying the highest ratings in the data. February and March bring daytime highs in the mid-20s to near-30 degrees Celsius with lows around 12 to 16 degrees, alongside strong sunshine of roughly 10 to 11 hours a day and modest rainfall of 19 to 26 millimeters. October and November continue this pattern, with highs of 27 to 32 degrees, lower nighttime lows, and among the lightest rainfall of the year at 4 to 15 millimeters, paired with 9.6 to 10.4 hours of daily sunshine.

The trade-off is that these same months make up the peak season, so travelers should expect higher demand at attractions during this stretch. Outside this window, April and May bring extreme heat with highs reaching 36.5 and 38.5 degrees Celsius, while June through September mark the wettest period, with July alone averaging 268 millimeters of rain and August and September not far behind at 202 and 198 millimeters, conditions that also correspond to the lowest visit scores of the year.
