The climate of Amritsar (India)
Amritsar is the most important place for the Sikh religion. The temple
in this town is situated in the middle of a large pond and has been a
very important sanctuary for this religion for centuries. A view on
this gold edifice with setting sun alone is worth the trip. A very
long time ago this was just an open spot with a pond in the forest.
Many adherents visited the place to meditate and pray. Thus Amritsar
slowly developed into a big town.
Amritsar has a steppe climate. This climate is characterized by a
distinction of four different seasons. The winter is agreeable as for
the temperature that remains above freezing point. The summer is very
warm but is followed by the monsoon period and the post monsoon
period. Terribly much rain falls during this rain period and this is
really not a very agreeable time to stay in this region.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
