Seasons at a glance
🌟
Peak season: Feb, Nov, Dec
Udaipur's most comfortable stretch, dry air and warm days after the summer heat and before it returns. Nights can turn genuinely cold, especially from mid-December to mid-February, though days still comfortably reach 20°C or more.
🌤️
Shoulder season: Jan, Mar, Apr, May, Sep, Oct
This tier spans real extremes. January sits deep in the coldest, most likely-to-be-chilly stretch of winter. March is mild before the heat builds fast through April, and May is the hottest month of the year, edging toward the pre-monsoon peak. September is hot and humid as the monsoon eases, while October can turn hot again once the rain stops, sometimes reaching the mid-30s.
☔
Off-peak season: Jun, Jul, Aug
The core of the southwest monsoon, hot and humid with the year's heaviest rain, July and August alone accounting for most of the annual total.
Good to know
✈️
Part of the wider Rajasthan circuit
Maharana Pratap Airport has direct flights to Delhi, Mumbai, and Jaipur, making Udaipur an easy add-on to a broader Rajasthan trip.
🏞️
The City of Lakes
Seven lakes surround Udaipur, and a boat ride across Lake Pichola, past the City Palace and Jag Mandir, is one of the most popular things to do in the city.
🥵
Summer heat is intense, though tempered by altitude
At 600m elevation, Udaipur avoids the very worst of the extremes seen further west in the Thar Desert cities like Jodhpur and Jaisalmer, but May and June still regularly reach 42 to 43°C, with a record of 46°C.
❄️
Winter nights can turn genuinely cold
On the coldest nights of the year, temperatures typically drop to 3 to 4°C, with a record low of -1°C, even though daytime highs still reach 20°C or more.
🌀
Cyclone risk exists, though direct impact is rare
Being inland and well north of the coast, Udaipur is only occasionally affected by weakened tropical systems, as happened with Cyclone Vayu in 2019, Cyclone Tauktae in 2021, and Cyclone Biparjoy in 2023.
