Gurgaon Holiday Weather Overview
Situated just 20 miles from New Delhi, Gurgaon is a thriving tourist area, packed with shopping centres, restaurants and hotels. Visitors use Gurgaon as a base for exploring the nearby capital and cultural attractions, but it does have its own attractions too - the Sheetla Mata temple is a popular pilgrimage destination, and there is also an amusement park, a bird sanctuary, a scenic lake and numerous parks.
Gurgaon's Climate
Gurgaon has a humid subtropical climate which is heavily monsoon influenced. Winters are cold, while summers are extremely hot. Dramatic temperature variations can occur from year to year - some winters are mild, for instance, where others can see daytime temperatures only just struggling above freezing.
Gurgaon in Spring
Gurgaon's short spring period takes place in February and March. Brilliant sunshine is common now, and temperatures start to climb. An average daily high of 23°C in February reaches 30°C by the end of March, although nights can still feel cool at around 10-12°C. Spring is considered a good time to visit Gurgaon, as the heat is not unbearable and the flowers are in bloom.
Gurgaon in Summer
Summer starts early in Gurgaon, and April is already considered a summer month. The summer period lasts until June, with May being by far the hottest month. Expect scorching temperatures if you visit Gurgaon at this time. Daily highs in April are around 36°C and in May and June the average is 40°C - but it's often much hotter than this. With sweltering night time temperatures of between 25 and 28°C, there's not much relief from the heat.
Most tourists avoid Gurgaon during the summer months, but if you do visit, make sure you stay hydrated. Hot, dry winds, dust storms and occasional thunderstorms are to be expected.
Gurgaon's Monsoon
Between July and early September, Gurgaon experiences monsoon rains. Humidity soars and although temperatures drop below 40°C the sticky air makes for an uncomfortable experience. Expect heavy rains, sometimes for a week or so at a time, which can bring some travel disruption. Thunderstorms are common.
Gurgaon in Autumn
By October, the worst of the monsoon is over, and relatively settled weather returns. October and early November mark the short autumn season in Gurgaon, which is generally considered to be a good time to visit. Temperatures will fall from around 35°C in October to a more comfortable 27°C in November, and there is very little rainfall plus a good amount of sunshine. This is one of the best times to explore Gurgaon and the surrounding area.
Gurgaon in Winter
Gurgaon's winter begins in November and extends through January. This is the unpredictable season - Himalayan winds can lower the temperatures to close to freezing, but the average daily high is in the low to mid 20s Celsius. Nights can be very chilly, however, at around 7°C, so if you are visiting Gurgaon in the winter, you'll need to pack layered clothing to account for all eventualities.
