Weather in February in India [2023]: Cold and Warm!

By RitaUpdated May. 18, 2023

Most of India is dry in February. But the temperatures are different depending on their latitudes and altitudes.   

The far north mountain areas are cold and snowy. North India gets cool and rain-free, while south India enjoys plenty of sunshine with slightly increasing temperatures.

The nice weather makes February a great time to do some outdoor activities such as going to the beach or visiting historic sites. Meanwhile, it is less crowded as it is the end of the peak season (November to February) in India.

India Weather in February: Overview

  • Average temperature: 27°C (81°F)
  • Average rainfall: 21 mm (1 inch)
  • Average rainy days: 2

If you'd like to avoid the heat, you can take outdoor activities in the cool morning or late afternoon.

What to Pack

In northern India, you're suggested to take T-shirts, and light trousers (even shorts where appropriate) or summer dresses for the day and warmer clothes like long-sleeve layers and light jackets for the cooler evenings.

If you visit the far north mountain areas, you're suggested to take down coats, fleeces and other very warm technical outdoor clothing, including dark glasses and windproof walking boots.

In southern India, summer clothing is fine, like dresses, T-shirts and other quick-drying wear. Sun protection is necessary as well.
