Bhopal's Climate
Bhopal, capital of Madhya Pradesh in central India, sits on an inland plateau around its lakes at roughly 500 m, giving it a milder feel than many plains cities under a humid subtropical climate (Cwa). Summer from March to June is hot and dry, with temperatures typically 38–42°C but softened at night by the elevation, while the southwest monsoon from June to September brings heavy showers, plenty of cloud and cooler air. Winter from November to February is pleasantly cool and dry, with nights that can dip to 8–12°C.
