Dehradun Weather – Best Time to Visit Dehradun
Dehradun Valley has moderate weather throughout the year barring a few days in summer when the temperature shoots up to 40 degrees. Being in proximity to the Shivalik and the Himalayan ranges on one side and the Ganga and Yamuna rivers on the other Dehradun experiences mild breeze even during summer. The Rajaji National Park adds to the pleasant weather. The nights are cooler and the days are a bit hot in summer. But the rest of the year the weather is clear and crispy. The rainy season lasts for almost two and a half months starting from July. Winters are chilling and the most happening time. Heavy snowfall takes place at the end of December and in January in a popular hill station Mussoorie and Dhanaulti which are not very far from Dehradun. Whatever may be the season Dehradun has been a all-time favorite since the British rule.
- Winter ( December to February) is the coolest month. If you are planning to visit during winter make sure you carry enough heavy woolens and Jackets. The maximum temperature is 22° C and the Minimum is 6° C.
- Spring ( March to April) is probably the best time to visit Dehradun. The sky is clear with greenery all around. With just the right weather you can enjoy your trip. The maximum temperature is 32° C and the Minimum is 9° C.

- Monsoons ( July to September) are the months of medium to heavy rainfall. The climate is uncertain so try to avoid if you are planning a trip.

- Autumn(October to November) again is the best time to explore and enjoy Dehradun and the surroundings. The maximum temperature is 28° C and the Minimum is 8° C.
