Best time to visit Surat

January is the best month in Surat, scoring 74 out of 100, with May the weakest at 30. The 44-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. Only 3 months come close to the top, which makes the timing narrow.

April is the warmest month at 40.9 °C and August the coolest at 29.5 °C — a 11.4 °C spread across the year. 308 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 September carry the rain — up to 27 wet days in a month — while January, February, March, April, May, November and December drop as low as 0. That 27-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Surat, and it moves further than the temperature does.

The sea never drops below 24.4 °C, so swimming is on the table year round. Daylight runs from 10.9 hours in winter to 13.4 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

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