Traveller notes on Hyderabad in August
Other months in Hyderabad
February closes the window the forum agrees on: November to February is Hyderabad's pleasant season, and from March the heat sets in properly — regulars say avoid March, April and May outright. February itself runs warm rather than punishing by local standards, near 30°C by day dropping to around 18 at night, with effectively no rain across the month. That combination — dry, clear, and not yet hot enough to organise the day around — is why it is the standing recommendation for sightseeing here.
