Best time to visit Ahmedabad

Ahmedabad is a city of two halves. January scores 88 and June scores 30 — a 58-point swing, which is the difference between a holiday and an endurance test. The month you pick matters more here than almost anywhere. Only 2 months come close to the top, which makes the timing narrow.

May is the warmest month at 43.5 °C and January the coolest at 29.6 °C — a 13.9 °C spread across the year. 315 days a year top 30 °C, more than a third of the calendar, so heat is the baseline here rather than a season.

There is a real wet season here. July to August carry the rain — up to 19 wet days in a month — while January, February, March, April, May, October, November and December drop as low as 0. That 19-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Ahmedabad, and it moves further than the temperature does.

Daylight runs from 10.7 hours in winter to 13.5 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

The three strongest months are January, December, November. The one to think twice about is June. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight and crowd levels.
