When to go, and when not to
The best months to visit Rawalpindi are March, April, October, and November, based on a combination of comfortable temperatures and strong sunshine. In this window, average highs range from about 23C in November to around 30C in April, with lows between roughly 11C and 17C, and sunshine averaging between about 9 and 10 hours a day.
Peak season overlaps with some of these months, covering March, April, August, October, and November, so popular sites can be busier even though August itself brings heavy rain, with 221mm recorded that month. The wettest month overall is July, with 254mm of rain, and June is the hottest, with an average high of 37.7C, which makes mid-summer travel considerably less comfortable despite falling within the cheaper off-season.
