India experiences four major seasons based on temperature and rainfall variations. The hot weather season lasts from March to May, marked by rising temperatures and dry conditions. The southwest monsoon season occurs from June to September, bringing most of the annual rainfall. The retreating monsoon season from October to November is associated with decreasing rainfall and occasional cyclones in coastal areas. The cold weather season from December to February is characterized by lower temperatures, especially in northern India, while southern regions remain relatively warm.
