Winter: The best time to visit Udaipur is from October to March (winter). It is the high season for tourism in the region.

Summer: April and May is the high summer season and is characterized by intense heat waves. Mercury reaches 40 °C during this time of the year.

Monsoon: The driest city receives late monsoon from September and lasts only until October. It gets mild showers and the humidity is said to rise. It can bring sparse rain in July and August at times but it is as good as no rain. However, the temperature is not said to be too high and makes the heat bearable.
