Climate in Shimla
Summer Season in Shimla
The season begins with spring-like weather. Winter snow melts away to reveal a glittering Shimla with green plants and shrubbery, a carpet of colourful flowers under a shimmering blue sky. The weather gets gradually warmer, and tourism slowly decreases. Most people prefer to visit Shimla in time to take advantage of winter sports, but there are many things one can do in summer. It is an excellent time for hiking, paragliding, camping, and trekking. Summer months feature warm days, cold nights and occasional rain showers. May and June might not be the best time to visit Shimla due to higher temperatures, so keep that in mind.
Monsoon Season in Shimla
The monsoon is also not the best time to visit Shimla. From July to October, the city receives about 1,400 mm of rainfall, which can severely impede your plans to explore the city and participate in adventure activities. However, Shimla is indeed dazzlingly beautiful during the monsoon. The rain washes away the heat and grime of summer, leaving the trees and hilly slopes verdant green and shimmering. The weather remains calm and pleasant despite the more significant humidity during this time. If you can tolerate or even love the rain, this could be a good time to visit Shimla. Since monsoon is considered the off-season, you may find great deals on hotels and travel.
Winter Season in Shimla
The best time to visit Shimla, India, is during the winter months of November to January. The average temperature sits at around 8 °C, and the lowest temperatures can go as low as -5 degrees Celsius, depending on your altitude. When it’s windy, the cold feel can be even more than the temperature, so pack many warm clothes. As cold as it is, winter is when Shimla is at its loveliest. It is a positively magical landscape that welcomes you when you step off your train. Romance blooms in the hills of Shimla in January, and honeymooners rush to Shimla to celebrate their love. Go ice skating, snowboarding and skiing with your family, and make snowmen and snow angels. ‘Tis the season of adventure in Shimla in winter.
