Climate chart - Gorakhpur
The climate of Gorakhpur is subtropical, with a rainy season that runs roughly from mid-June to early October, due to the monsoon, and a dry season from mid-October to early June. The rains are abundant especially in July and August, and sometimes there can be floods.
The city is located in northeastern India, in the state of Uttar Pradesh, at 26 degrees north latitude and on the banks of the Rapti Nadi (or Western Rapti) river. About 60 km (37 mi) to the north is the border with Nepal.
We are in the Indo-Gangetic plain, which is a very polluted area, especially from October to February, when air stagnates more easily.
In winter, from mid-November to late February or early March, nights are cool, and sometimes even cold. In January 2013, the temperature dropped to -1 °C (30 °F).
In addition, from November to January, fog can form at night and in the early morning. The fog usually dissolves during the day, however, in these situations, it can sometimes be cool even during the day, with highs of 15/16 °C (59/61 °F), and sometimes even below. In January 2013, there was one day with a maximum of 9 °C (48 °F), followed by three days with a maximum of 10 °C (50 °F).
From mid-March to mid-June, before the monsoon, it is very hot. In the hottest periods, the temperature can reach 45 °C (113 °F).

Gorakhpur

Best Time



The best time to visit Gorakhpur is from mid-November to mid-February, being the coolest within the dry season. It must be said that this is the time of the year when pollution is highest. Also, in the middle of winter, usually from mid-December to mid-January, it can get a little cold and fog can be persistent, so the latter period can be avoided.
