June’s weather in detail

Kashmir & Himalayas

June is a good month of the year for visiting Shimla and the other hill stations of the Indian Himalayas. It's hot and sunny with just the occasional rain shower. It's peak tourist season, so some places can get quite busy. Lower level spots like Jammu and Rishikesh are very hot with temperatures in the high 30’s. Avoid the worst of the heat by sightseeing or walking in the early morning or late afternoon.

Kerala, Goa & the South

June heralds the arrival of the monsoon proper in Goa and Kerala. It's the wettest month of the year and not a great time to visit. There can be widespread flooding with roads washed away. Tamil Nadu is nowhere near as wet, but with temperatures in the mid to high 30’s it's still quite hard work. So, if you plan to visit southern India in June, the hill stations in the Western Ghat mountains are probably your best bet. Rain is not as frequent and heat and humidity levels are much more pleasant.

Mumbai & central India

The monsoon reaches Mumbai and the rest of central India in June. It brings lots of wind and rain, so if you visit at this time of year you need to be prepared for wet weather. It's not wall-to-wall downpours though so sightseeing isn't a complete washout and the National Parks are still open.

Rajasthan & the Golden Triangle

June is one of the hottest months of the year in Rajasthan. With temperatures easily hitting 40°C during the daytime and not receding much at night either, sightseeing can be pretty tough going. Do like the locals and seek the cooler temperatures at altitude around the pretty hill station of Mount Abu.
