India's Four Seasons Highlighted: Key Weather Patterns Explained
India · Published Sep 19, 2026
India experiences four distinct seasons: the cold weather season (mid-November to February), the hot weather season (March to May), the advancing monsoon (June to September), and the retreating monsoon (October to November).
Each season is characterised by unique weather phenomena.

Impact & Risks

The seasonal weather patterns significantly influence agriculture, daily life, and festivals across India. Western disturbances during the cold weather season benefit the rabi crop, while the loo in the hot weather season poses health risks such as heatstroke. The advancing monsoon is critical for water resources and farming but can also lead to flooding. Cyclones during the retreating monsoon threaten coastal regions, particularly along the eastern coastline.
