Weather in Punjab
Punjab is home to 25 cities tracked on Mausam Online, including Ludhiana, Amritsar and Jalandhar. Live weather, hourly forecasts and air-quality data are available for every city.
Climate & seasons
Punjab has the climate of the north Indian plains: a long, hot summer, a monsoon season and a cool winter. The heat peaks in May and June, when dust storms and the hot, dry wind known as the loo are common. Most of the year's rain falls from June to September, heaviest in July and August. Western disturbances bring occasional winter rain, and dense fog is common on December and January mornings.
When to visit Punjab
The most comfortable months to visit are October to March, after the monsoon and before the summer heat. December and January are the coolest months, with cold nights and morning fog that often delays trains and flights.
Air quality in Punjab
AQI conditions vary by city and season. Winter (November–January) is typically the worst, when cold, still air traps smoke and dust near the ground and post-harvest crop burning adds to it. Each city's page, linked above, shows its live AQI.
