Climate of Uttar Pradesh
The climate of Uttar Pradesh is tropical monsoon in character, but variations exist because of dissimilarity in altitudes. The Himalayan region is moderately cold. The standard temperature varies in the plains from 3-4oC in January to 43-45oC in May and June. Uttar Pradesh mainly experiences three distinct seasons - the cold season from October to February, summer from March to Mid June and the rainy season from March to September. The Himalayan region gets about 100-200cm of rain fall. The rainfall in the plains is heaviest in the east and decreases as one proceeds towards the north-east. Floods are a chronic problem of the state, causing damage to crops, life and property. Flood water during the rainy season becomes a major hindrance for tourists traveling to Uttar Pradesh. There are infrequent cloud-bursts adding to the misery of the people.
History
Uttar Pradesh has a very ancient and colourful history. Being part of the rich fertile plain between Delhi and Patna, its history is closely linked to the history of North India. Uttar Pradesh became the heart land of the Mughal Empire who called the place ‘Hindustan’ which became the second name of U.P. (after Aryavarta / Madhyadesh). It is only from the Rig Vedic age that some clear historical account is found. The Aryan colonization from Punjab gradually extended to the east. Expansion of territory saw the creation of new States (Janpadas) and emergence of new people and the centre of culture was shifted to the plains between Saraswati and Ganga ruled by the kingdoms of Kuru, Panchal, Kashi and Kosal. The entire region extending up to Prayag in the east that bore the name of Madhya Desh is the Modern Uttar Pradesh.
Best time to visit
The best time to visit Uttar Pradesh is between Octobers to the month of March, although the major city remains bustling with tourists through out the year.
