Best time to visit Srinagar

October is the best month in Srinagar, scoring 92 out of 100, with February the weakest at 52. The 40-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. 4 of the twelve months sit within ten points of the best, so there is more than one right answer.

July is the warmest month at 31.8 °C and January the coolest at 10.3 °C — a 21.5 °C spread across the year. Around 77 days a year top 30 °C, concentrated in July and the months either side. 37 nights a year dip below freezing.

There is a real wet season here. July to August carry the rain — up to 14 wet days in a month — while September to December drop as low as 4. That 10-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Srinagar, and it moves further than the temperature does.

Daylight runs from 9.9 hours in winter to 14.4 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

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