Climate Chart of Kanpur, India

Monthly data: Temperature °C, Rain (mm), Sunshine (h) · 2013–2023

Climate overview

Temperature

The monthly mean temperature is lowest in January at 14.5 °C and highest in June at 32.7 °C. These are averages for whole months, not daytime maximum temperatures, so they do not describe the full range visitors may experience within a day. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean is 25.1 °C. It offers a compact year-wide reference, but should not be read as a day-weighted annual average or as a description of conditions in every month.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is highest in July at 10.59 mm/day and lowest in November at 0.12 mm/day. The figures are daily averages for those months, not monthly rainfall totals; the lower mean does not guarantee rain-free days or show how often rain occurs. The unweighted mean of the monthly daily-rainfall means is 2.68 mm/day. This is useful as a broad reference across the calendar, but does not indicate the amount expected on a particular date.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine reaches its highest monthly value in May at 11.48 hours/day, and its lowest in July at 7.99 hours/day. These averages can help with broad outdoor-planning expectations, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length and does not promise clear skies on any given day. The unweighted mean across the monthly sunshine figures is 9.67 hours/day per day. It summarizes the calendar-month averages rather than describing a typical day in every part of the year.

Best Travel Time Guide for Kanpur, India: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights

For visitors prioritising cooler monthly averages, January is the relevant option to consider, when the monthly mean temperature is 14.5 °C. This average can help set expectations for the month, but it does not specify daytime highs, nighttime lows or day-to-day variability. If lower average rainfall is your priority, November is the conditional option, with mean daily rainfall of 0.12 mm/day; it is not a guarantee of dry weather. For travel in July, when the mean daily amount is 10.59 mm/day, consider packing rain protection, while remembering that a monthly average cannot tell you the timing or frequency of wet days.

For outdoor sightseeing planned around average sunshine duration, May has the monthly high at 11.48 hours/day, while July has the low at 7.99 hours/day. These comparisons may help with broad daylight-outdoor planning, but sunshine hours are not day length and cannot guarantee the conditions on your visit; the temperature, rainfall and sunshine criteria therefore point to different considerations rather than one universal best time.
