The enchanting hill resort of Mussoorie was discovered by an English
army officer named Young in 1827. A land graced with all the endowments
of nature's richness, Mussoorie was an exclusive colonial resort
during the British Raj. However today, Mussoorie stands out as
an ideal vacationing destination of North India. Located 34 km
from Dehradun, it welcomes swarms of tourists every year with
its blessed landscape and temperate climate. Be it the idea of
beating the summer heat or just enjoying a perfect weekend, Mussoorie
remains a favorite holidaying option among the people of the nearby
plains. We have detailed the weather information of Mussoorie
in the following lines.
Summers
Summers (April to June) in Mussoorie remain very favorable. Because
of its high altitude, the hill resort escapes the extreme heat
of summer season. The temperature rises to a maximum of 30oC
and the minimum temperature is recorded at 10oC during
this season. Thus, the summer months remain the 'peak season'
in Mussoorie and the place remains packed with a large number
of tourists from the adjoining plains. Light woolens are advisable
during this season.
Winters
Generally winters (late October to mid- February) in Mussoorie
are very cold and spine-chilling. The mercury level may drop down
to a minimum of 1oC during the nights. Days remain
slightly foggy, with the sun being mild and placid. The temperature
reaches to a maximum of 10oC during the daytime. Sometimes,
occasional snowfall might lead to road-blocks in winters. Thus,
the place remains scantily populated during this season.
Monsoon
The place experiences heavy downpour during the monsoon season
(July to September). It makes the roads unsuitable for trekking
and driving. The sky attains a mauvish tinge and mountains remain
covered with sheets of mist. With the onset of the spring season
in end-September, the place reaches its apogee of beauty. Lush
vegetation abound the place and the town experiences a new lease
of life. The best time to visit Mussoorie is either during the
spring season (September to November) or between the months of
April and June.
