Traveller notes on Hyderabad in March
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.

Ramzan and the haleem season

- Hazard
Deccan summer heat
20 Mar – 5 Jun · usuallyExtreme heatHeat advisories start in late March and the middle of the day goes indoors until the rains break. Golconda and the Qutb Shahi tombs have almost no shade, so they are a first-light or last-light job. Source ↗
