Like most cities of the Ganga plains, weather and
climate of Varanasi is hot in summers and cool and pleasant in
winters.
Situated
in Uttar Pradesh, in northern part of India, Varanasi is located on the
banks of the holy river, Ganges. During summers, weather can be as hot
as 45° C and humid too as Varanasi lies at the Tropic of cancer.
Torrential rains and high humidity accompanies the monsoons that usually
come in late June or early July for about two months. Delicious and
juicy mangoes offer little relief from the sweating weather. On the
other hand, winters are pleasant and temperature dips down to about 7°C.
In Varanasi, the climatic conditions are most favorable for the tourists
between October to April. For those who are ready to face a sun and
don't mind the odor of sweat, Varanasi is a place to visit all the year
round.
