Travelers have always wondered about what would be a climatically good time to visit an aspired destination. The answer to this question when we talk about New Delhi is, that although Saddi Dilli is a beautiful city blessed with all the seasons, one can actually experience the extremes and fun of all the seasons. The climate of the city is hot and humid in summers, and cold in winters. Some might consider the best time to visit the city is during the spring when the city is at its full beauty.
During the months of February to April and August to November Saddi Dilli has an awesomely pleasant climate. Excruciating heat is however experienced with temperature rising up to and at times over 45o C in summers and typically in the months of May till July, the winters too are quite cold with temperatures dropping as low as 5o C. Since the city is placed at an elevation of 215 meters, the cold wave from the Himalayan region helps in adding on to the chill in Saddi Dilli.
In addition to this, the period between October to March is considered to be very special because of the festivity in the air, it also is ironically the most preferred marriage season during the year and thousands of couples prefer to tie their knots during this time, this can actually makes the city a little chaotic (traffic wise) on some special days which are considered to be super auspicious for the newlyweds since these are the days when their departed ancestors are believed to give their choicest blessings. Most of the North Indian festivals are also celebrated during this period only and the auspiciousness in the air, the excitement in people, the enthusiasm in shopping and clubbing definitely adds to the grandeur of Saddi Dilli.
People would have different opinions on what is the best time to visit Saddi Dilli, I however feel that the best time to visit would be between Febuary to March and September to November.
