The climate of Surat (India)
Surat lies in the federal state of Gujarat on the banks of the river
Tapti. It used to be an important port for the trade with Mecca and
here the English established their first trading post. One of the most
conspicuous curiosities is the old cemetery of the town. Here you find
old tombs of Dutch and English adventurers.The town is particularly
focused on textile and diamond trade. Consequently in the town there
is an enormous textile market where you can buy splendid saris at a
reasonable price.
The climate in Surat is a tropical monsoon climate. From June up to
and including September is the rainy period and then the rain really
comes down in buckets. The monsoon rains can easily cause floods then.
The combination of high temperature and rain causes a very high air
humidity. This very quickly feels damp. The wintermonths are much drier
and cooler, although temperatures seldom drop below 18 degrees.

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:
