Monsoon

Heavy showers can be experienced from June to September. Perennial rainfall is a part and parcel of the district much like what is seen in the rest of the state. Since there is continuous rainfall during these months, humidity increases making the season quite unpleasant. It isn’t the best time to visit Chandel.

Winter

The temperature tends to drop considerably during the winters in Chandel. They can get as low as 0 degrees Celsius. The peak winter months are December, January and February. Winter is quite long and thus proper protection is a must for the season. While travelling adequate woollens must be carried.
