What's the weather like in India in December?

India is one of the largest countries in the world, with landscapes from snow-capped mountains to tropical beaches, bustling cities and golden deserts. The country has a rainy season which lasts from July until September, followed by the drier post-monsoon months. December marks the start of winter and the high season in India, when the weather’s dry and sunny, with mild temperatures in the north and warm temperatures in the south.
