Indore Weather in June

June: heat gives way to rain

June is still hot, with daytime highs around 36°C and nights near 25°C. That's a relief after May, but afternoons can feel sticky, and rain falls on many days. Expect cloudier skies and less sunshine than in the dry season.

Keep sightseeing flexible. Rajwada Palace and the Central Museum work better in the morning, before the heat builds. Save Sarafa Bazaar's famous food stalls for the evening, when the air is cooler. Heavy showers can interrupt walks, so don't make a long outdoor outing your only plan.

Events and crowds

International Yoga Day falls on June 21, with events held across India; local celebrations may take place in Indore too. School holidays often overlap with June, so families may be travelling, though the heat and rain keep this from being a busy sightseeing month.

If you hate crowds, June is quieter than Indore's popular November-to-January season. You may also find hotels and flights less costly than in those cooler months, but prices vary with dates and demand.

Make the most of your visit

Choose indoor stops for the hottest part of the day, then head out when the rain eases. If showers arrive, use the time for a long lunch of Indore's poha-jalebi, a local breakfast favourite that's also easy to find later in the day.

Travelling with kids? Keep a visit to Rajwada short and leave room for a relaxed meal nearby. For Sarafa Bazaar, check that the stalls are open after rain before making the trip; wet evenings can change the feel of a market visit.
