July is typically the warmest month of the year, while January is the coldest. As thirty-year averages computed from station USC00302036, these numbers smooth out year-to-year noise into a working baseline for a typical month.
Anyone planning to live, garden, or travel in Delhi should weigh precipitation alongside temperature: the annual average runs 48.6 inches, with 70.6 inches typically falling as snow. The frost-free season averages 135 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near May 19 and the first fall freeze near October 1. And on the energy front, 7,449 heating degree days and 305 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Delhi scores 54/100 (Moderate), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. For planning purposes, look to the monthly tables above: shoulder seasons bring the mildest highs and lows, summer brings July-driven heat, and deep winter brings January-driven cold. Treat every figure here as a thirty-year average rather than a forecast - individual years routinely run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
