Weather:  Climate in India varies greatly.India has a three-season year - the hot, the wet and the cool. The heat starts to build up on the northern plains around February and by April it becomes unbearable.The first signs of the monsoon appear in May, with high humidity, short rainstorms and violent electrical storms.The main monsoon ends around October, and India's northern cities become crisp at night in December.

A couple of kilometres south, the broad, green east–west swathe of Raj Path links India Gate and the Indian parliamentary buildings.A visit to the mighty Lal Qila or Red Fort and Jami Masjid, India's largest mosque, is a must, and should be combined with a stroll through the area's ancient bazaars.
