Udaipur weather by month
The three seasons
Winter (October – March): peak season
Clear skies, warm afternoons and cool nights, sometimes dipping near 8 °C in January. This is the time for boat rides on Lake Pichola, palace tours and rooftop dinners, and it's also wedding season, so book hotels early.
Summer (April – June)
Hot and dry, with May averaging around 40 °C. Hotels are cheaper; plan indoor sightseeing at midday and lakeside evenings.
Monsoon (July – September)
Most of Udaipur's ~674 mm of annual rain falls now. The Aravallis turn green and by September the lakes are brimming, making it a romantic, quieter time to visit.
