Climate of Delhi

The winters in Delhi are the ones that I enjoy the most.
It is cold, but not snowy. The cool air and breeze encourages you to sleep under your blanket all day. It is cold even in the afternoon.
Winters start by October end and ends by February end. It is said (jokingly) that North Indians take bath for the prayer of Diwali in October end and then only after Holi celebrations. 
After Holi, the temperature gradually shoots up. Delhi enters into summer in May. So the time from march to may is normal climate. With may temperature shoots up. This will continue till peak summer around June middle. Summers continue till August and then temperature starts declining slowly. August to October end is again normal climate. 
This normal climate occurs twice a year- the start of summer and start of winter. You can see children playing and even some rain during this time. This period is also called the disease phase. Common diseases in Delhi are Dengue,
Typhoid, malaria etc.
Mosquitoes are only found in this season as they would not be able to survive in peak winters or summers. 
So finally Delhi can be divided into three climates. Summer, winter and disease climate. If you are planning to visit Delhi and have a good time, I suggest winter!
