Best time to visit Vijayawada
India · 20-year averages
Vijayawada is a city of two halves. December scores 83 and June scores 28 — a 55-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.
April is the warmest month at 40.7 °C and December the coolest at 29.7 °C — a 11 °C spread across the year. 297 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 October carry the rain — up to 22 wet days in a month — while January, February, March, April 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 Vijayawada, and it moves further than the temperature does.
The sea never drops below 26.5 °C, so swimming is on the table year round. Daylight barely moves: about 13.1 hours whatever the month, which removes one variable from the decision entirely.
The three strongest months are December, January, November. The one to think twice about is June. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight, sea temperature and crowd levels.
