CLIMATE OF HIMACHAL PRADESH
State: Himachal Pradesh
Major Factors Affecting The Climate: Monsoons &
Snowfall
The variance in climate is very much found in Himachal.
From warm weather in the summer season in the months of April to mid-June
to an extreme freezing point weather in the winter, between the months of
November and February. Snowfall at elevations of about 3,000m is about
3mtrs during the winter months and about 4,500m is perpetual snow.
Rainy season becomes unbearable with dripping humidity of monsoons
hitting the state between the months of June and September. The heavy
rains in July and August cause damage to erosion, floods and landslides,
so its better to avoid this season for travel in Himachal. One can enjoy
the pleasant weather of this hilly region between the months of October
and March

Lightweight cottons and linens are recommended as summer wears and warmer
clothes should be put on in winter and on cooler evenings. Waterproofing
is essential during monsoons. Monsoon rains occur in most regions in
summer between June and September.
