HYDERABAD SUMMERS (MARCH TO JULY) • Hyderabad witnesses long summers and the temperature ranges between 21 and 40 degree Celsius or sometimes even beyond that. Summer in Hyderabad begins by mid of March and continues till the end of July and remains extremely hot and humid. In the bright heat of summers, the scorching heat may not be a favorable time to enjoy the beauty of the spectacular history and culture of this quaint city, as the sweltering heat will most likely leave you dehydrated and exhausted.

• Summer in Hyderabad always witnesses soaring temperature, and the hot sun makes it difficult for travelers to travel in the mornings. If you are planning to visit Hyderabad during the summer season, make sure you carry lots of sunscreen and a pair of sunglasses with you, along with light, cotton clothing, hats and sufficient water to prevent dehydration and beat the heat while going out.

• The humidity during these months can become as high as 93% which in itself makes the weather conditions hot, sticky and sweltering. The daytime is usually marked by scorching heat and heat waves, which may deter you from exploring the city’s famed structures during the day, while in the nights, the temperature is comparatively cooler. April and May constitute the hottest months of the year, and city tours during afternoon can be very exhausting, and it is certainly not the best month to visit Hyderabad. Following a little shower in the month of June, the temperature hovers between 27 degree and 32 degree Celsius.


• However, summers is also the time when the crowds are less, making it an ideal time to enjoy a peaceful vacation in Hyderabad.

HYDERABAD MONSOON (AUGUST TO OCTOBER)


• Monsoon in Hyderabad sets in by late July and continues till October, and is perhaps the most unpredictable of all the seasons. While the onset of monsoon brings a sense of relief from the scorching summers, and allows you to take lazy strolls around the vibrant and lively streets of Hyderabad, the rainfall occurs in rather varying degrees. Evenings are however pleasant and marked by cool breezes.

• Hyderabad receives heavy to light rainfall during the monsoons and the average high and low temperatures usually range from 26 degree Celsius to 33 degree Celsius and the climate is mainly humid throughout. The erratic rain showers and strong winds at times results in excessive humidity, but it also lends a special charm to explore the true essence of this spectacular city. It is also the best time to enjoy the many tourist spots dotting the city that spring back to life in lush greenery after the scorching summer.

• If you want to travel with the clouds and a little drizzle then monsoon is the best time to visit Hyderabad. The sheer natural beauty gets amplified to a large extent, and the flowers are in full bloom. Make sure to head out to the enchanting Shilparamam, Birla Planetarium and Technological Museum, Sudha Cars Museum, Purani Haveli and Taramati Baradari. Relish the authentic local delicacies with a slight Mughlai taste mingled with local South Indian twist and don’t forget to try the delectable Biryani, which is Hyderabad’s signature dish, at any of the local restaurants.


HYDERABAD WINTERS (NOVEMBER TO MARCH)


• Though the city enjoys a pleasant climate year-round, the best time to visit Hyderabad is during the winter season when the weather conditions are perfect to traverse the charming town. In the winters, the weather stays delightful and enjoyable and this is when you can get the best out of your vacation and visit famous attractions like Charminar, Golconda Fort, Qutb Shahu Tombs, Hussain Sagar, Chowmahalla Palace, Falaknuma Palace and many other such marvels.

• Winter is indeed a delightful season to indulge in activities such as shopping and sightseeing when the weather is the last thing one needs to worry about. November sees the gradual transition to winter which extends till early March. During this season the days are bright and sunny, the weather is mild and extremely pleasant, while evenings and nights can be little chilly, making it the best time to check out picnic spots in Hyderabad. It is recommended to carry light warm woolens as the temperature at night can get pretty low.

• The average temperature during this time period ranges from 16 degree Celsius to 29 degree Celsius, which is generally considered ideal for monument visits, city tours and other tourists’ activities. You can also enroll yourself for one of the ongoing Heritage walks to observe the beautiful landscape and Minars in early morning hours, which is indeed a visual treat for tourists.


• Hyderabad in winter months is full of hustle and bustle and myriad of lively events and activities keep taking place, thus making it most preferable and the best time to visit Hyderabad. You can partake in the grand festivities during this season like the Winter Carnival at Ramoji Film City that takes place over December and January every year and brings in huge tourism in the city. During the festival, one can observe numerous carnival floats, parades and all kinds of street performances, which makes for an overall enlightening experience. You can also plan your visit around the Deccan Festival which is celebrated in the month of February, where you can witness several cultural programs and immerse yourself in the most stirring and soothing ghazals and Mushairas by some of the most established music artists. With so many activities going around, you’ll see Hyderabad all together a different place around.

• The Hyderabad Kids’ Fair also takes place in December, so if you are travelling with your family, this is another reason to be here at this time of the year. A number of workshops, seminars and learning experiences, besides competitions, dance and music performances and fun activities for kids take place during the fair.

• Another reason for winter being preferred as the best season is the significant Pongal festival which is usually celebrated in the second week of January, and enables the tourists to witness the harvest season in full bloom. It is a four day long festival celebrated with a lot of vigor and merry making in almost every South Indian household, and marks the beginning of harvesting crops in the fields. Houses are adorned with rangolis, flowers and colorful Kolam designs. Community meals using the freshly gathered harvest are also held at certain parts of the city.

• Hyderabad has many gardens to explore like NTR Gardens, Lumbini Park, Sanjeevaiah Park and winters are the opportune time to enjoy these blooming gardens and take a leisurely stroll. A boat ride on the Hussain Sagar Lake along with its light and sound show in late evenings is most enjoyed with the cool breeze of winters blowing on your face, rather than a blazing summer shining down on your head.

• The popularity of Hyderabad during winters also makes it the peak season which brings with it a huge influx of tourists and fewer tranquil places to enjoy. Winters are the time the city receives huge rush and most tourist attractions are overcrowded with people who come from across the country to admire the city’s beauty. The hotel room fares also go up and most of the prominent resorts and heritage properties might already be booked and not be available on weekends.
