Ten-year averages (2015 to 2024) from NASA POWER satellite data. Conditions change; check before you go.

Where do these numbers come from, and how far can you trust them?

The figures come from NASA POWER, a free NASA project that publishes weather estimates for every point on Earth, put together from satellites and weather models. We took every day from 2015 to 2024 for this place, and averaged each month: the usual daytime high, the usual night low, and the rain.

We compared it with official weather-station figures for a few places. Over flat land it matched closely; in the hills and on islands it can be a few degrees out, and then the strip says so.

Easy, Mixed and Hard are our rule of thumb, not a forecast. Hard means days above about 37°, rain of about 250 mm a month or more, or nights close to freezing. Mixed means days above about 32°, rain over about 100 mm a month, or cold nights (below about 8°). Easy is everything else.

An average is not the weather on your dates, and it knows nothing about festivals, crowds, road closures or this year's monsoon. Check a forecast a week before you go.

NASA POWER: the data we used ↗

Trust me. The travel memories become incredibly pleasing if you get a room or any humble abode with a mesmerizing scenic view from the balcony and you start capturing the moments from your cozy bed with loved ones and the scenery.
