Climat de l'IndeLe climat de l'Inde est très varié du fait la taille géographique du pays, de la topographie allant de zone maritime à la haute montagne. Il est par conséquent très difficile de généraliser, cependant on dénombre officiellement quatre saisons, l'hiver de janvier à février, l'été de mars à mai, la mousson ou saison des pluies de juin à septembre, et après la période post-mousson ou automne d'octobre à décembre. La géographie et la géologie particulière de l'Inde ont une grande influence sur son climat, ceci est particulièrement vrai pour l'Himalaya au nord et pour le désert du Thar au nord-ouest.
