About Leh weather
Leh, in Ladakh's high-altitude cold desert, sitting in the rain shadow of the Himalaya and Karakoram ranges, is positioned about 140 km east of Kargil. The warmer months mean a short, mild summer (June–August) with daytime highs typically in the high teens to mid-20s°C even as nights stay cool. The rainy season is next to no monsoon rainfall — Ladakh's rain-shadow position keeps it one of the driest inhabited regions in India even in peak monsoon months. Finally, there's an extreme winter (December–February) with lows frequently well below −15°C and heavy snow closing many roads. This page shows live, auto-refreshing weather for Leh: current conditions, an hourly breakdown, a 16-day outlook, a date-lookup tool for any past or future date, and real-time air quality, sourced from Open-Meteo.
