Climate chart - Solapur (Maharashtra)
The climate of Solapur (or Sholapur) is tropical, with a rainy season from June to October, due to the monsoon, and a dry season from November to May.
The city is located in south-central India, in the state of Maharashtra, at 17 degrees north latitude and 480 meters (1,575 feet) above sea level.
Due to the distance from the sea, the rains are not abundant, moreover, the dry season is long, so the landscape is semi-arid. Before the monsoon the temperature rises, and from April to early June, on the hottest days, it can reach 44/45 °C (111/113 °F). In May 1988 it reached 46 °C (115 °F).
On the other hand, owing to the altitude, nights can be cool from November to February. The temperature dropped to 8.7 °C (47.7 °F) in January 2011.
Solapur is in the path of tropical cyclones. Typically, cyclones occur from April to December, with two intensity peaks before and after the monsoon (from late April to early June and in October-November). Since we are far from the coast, the city is not hit by cyclones at full strength, however, they can bring heavy rainfall.
Best Time
The best time to visit Solapur is from November to January, being the least hot within the dry season. By February, the temperature begins to rise, and in some years it can get very hot already in this month.
