Best time to visit Indore

Indore is a city of two halves. January scores 96 and June scores 30 — a 66-point swing, which is the difference between a holiday and an endurance test. The month you pick matters more here than almost anywhere. Only 3 months come close to the top, which makes the timing narrow.

May is the warmest month at 41.2 °C and January the coolest at 27.6 °C — a 13.6 °C spread across the year. 205 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. June to September carry the rain — up to 22 wet days in a month — while January, February, March, April, May, November and December drop as low as 1. That 21-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Indore, and it moves further than the temperature does.

Daylight runs from 10.8 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.
