| Climate Of Bhutan |
| Bhutan enjoys four seasons each having its
advantages and disadvantages to the visitor. The southern plains
close to the Indian border are warmer and more tropical than
higher central valleys. Spring is perhaps the most beautiful
time of the year when the fierce cold that characterizes the
winter months tends to subside towards the end of February with
beautiful Rhododendron blooming with spectacular flaming red,
pink and white colors. Summer months in the southern region are
generally hot whereas in other parts of the country it is warm
and pleasant with average maximum temperatures not exceeding 30
degrees Celsius and the minimum at around 10-15 degrees Celsius.
The annual monsoon from the Bay of Bengal is also experienced
around the country between June and September. |
