Map - India
If we consider also the Himalayas, it is said a little emphatically that India has all the climates of the world, but the climate in most of the country is actually tropical and affected by the monsoon regime, with a dry and a rainy season. The rains are more or less intense and long-lasting depending on area, but generally the wettest period is from July to September, except in the southeast, where the retreating monsoon continues until the end of the year. The hottest period generally runs from April to mid-June, i.e. before the arrival of the monsoon, so the calendar's spring is in a way the real summer. Winter lasts from December to February. In the north-west, the monsoon season is shorter, while in inland mountains of Kashmir, the monsoon doesn't arrive at all. Along the coasts it's hot all year round, especially in the center and south, but the heat is tempered by the breeze.
Let us now analyze the different climatic zones of India.
Explanation:
Srinagar, 1,500 meters (5,000 feet) above sea level, in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, where it is said that the tomb of Jesus is located, the climate is slightly continental. Here are the average temperatures.
Gangtok, Sikkim, at 1,400 meters (4,600 feet) of altitude, the average temperature ranges from 8.5 °C (47 °F) in January to 19.5 °C (67 °F) in August, so it's milder than Srinagar, which is located further to the north.
Darjeeling, West Bengal, 2,100 meters (6,900 ft) above sea level, where the British colonists used to spend the summer in order to escape the heat, the average ranges from 5 °C (41 °F) in January to 17 °C (63 °F) in July and August. Hence, the British found a cool summer like in England, though much rainy; in fact, more than 400 mm (16 in) fall per month from June to September, and the rains occur almost daily. On the contrary, winter is quite cold, but it's also dry and sunny.
