Weather in Jamshedpur in October

A good month. October works. It is not the peak, but nothing about it fights you. Highs average 29.3 °C, lows 20.7 °C, and rain falls on 11 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

October ranks 5 of 12 in Jamshedpur: past the worst of the year but short of December, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain on 11 days, 3 of them heavy. Enough to need a plan B, not enough to need a plan around it. Pack for 29.3 °C days and 20.7 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 11 days top 30 °C — hot spells arrive, but they break. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest October day reached 32.9 °C and the coldest night fell to 12.2 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 106 mm — roughly 108% of the month's rain in one day.

This is the volatile part. October rainfall has ranged from 11 mm to 335 mm across the twenty years measured — a 324 mm spread around an average of 98 mm. The average is real but almost no individual October looks like it, so treat the figure as the middle of a wide range rather than a forecast.

Wind is light at 4.8 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity runs at 81%, high enough to notice on the warm days without dominating them.

How October sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 30.4 °C in September, 29.3 here, 27 in November. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much. Rain is the thing that moves: November brings 9 days less of it, so pushing the dates later buys drier weather.

Daylight in October

11.7 hours of daylight, losing 0.6 hours across the month. That is between Jamshedpur's extremes of 13.5 and 10.7 hours, so days are long enough not to constrain the plan.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 30.6 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

How busy it gets

Shoulder. The value months — prices ease off and you get the place closer to itself.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

October in Jamshedpur versus nearby

If Jamshedpur is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Ranchi is a better bet in October — 2.7 °C cooler, 2 days less rain. Kolkata is the weaker option in October — within a degree on temperature, 3 days more rain.

So: October is a compromise. December is 31 points better and is what Jamshedpur is actually like at its best — worth moving the trip for if that is possible, and worth adjusting expectations for if it is not.
