When I came to India, I was quite prepared to face the diverse weather conditions that India boost. As I went through net, I got aquainted with the fact that the Indian subcontinent has eight climatic zones and significantly all of them have just monsoons in common. And, It was quite astonishing for me to know that even the monsoon comes to different parts of the country at different times.

India have such a varied temperature zone that with in a couple of hours, one is able to see a drastic tempearture change from the cold crisp air of the mountains to the burning dry heat of the Rajasthan Desert. So, I braught every kind of clothes that I could- clothes to beat the summer heat and clothes that could protect me from cold waves.

The Punjab, Haryana and parts of western Uttar Pradesh suffer from drastic extremes in climate. It can be very cold from December - January, very dry and hot from the end of March till June, very hot and humid till the monsoons arrive from July through September. The temperature zone between north India and south India is quite varied. Sites like Wunderground helped me in knowing the weather condition of India.
