Noida in Winter (October to March)

Winters in Noida can get really cold and harsh due to the chilly wave descending from the Himalayan region. The season starts in the month of October and it keeps the city under its hold till March. While the days remain cool and pleasant, the nights can turn quite chilly. December and January are the peak months when temperatures dip quite drastically.

Noida also faces smog and fog during the winter season. In January, the city remains enveloped in dense fog, reducing the visibility on the streets. This also leads to trains and airline providers cancelling their services. So, even though winter is considered to be the best season to visit Noida, it is advisable to avoid December and January.

Ideally, you can plan a trip around October to November, February or March.
