About Varanasi weather
Varanasi is one of many towns in Uttar Pradesh's Gangetic plain, one of the most densely populated stretches of India, about 114 km east of Prayagraj. Before the rains arrive, there's an intense summer (April–June) with highs regularly crossing 40–45°C, sometimes accompanied by hot, dry loo winds. Then comes the south-west monsoon (late June–September), which brings the bulk of the state's annual rainfall. Cooler months mean a cold winter (December–January) with dense early-morning fog and lows that can approach freezing in the west. This page shows live, auto-refreshing weather for Varanasi: 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.
