How does the weather affect Sangam?

Sangam is open all year round, and events take place between June and March.  During April and May, the temperature in Pune is often above 40 degrees Celsius and no programs are offered.  However, Independent Guests can come and stay at S ang am any time of the year as long as there is space available. 

The busiest period at S ang am is from June to September.  In Pune and western , this is the monsoon season, so it generally rains heavily and is cooler than other parts of the year.  From September to November, Pune tends to be warm and sunny, whilst from December to February temperatures can vary significantly.  By the end of February, temperatures begin to rise again. 

Where can I get more information about update fore-castings?

It is important to note that is a very large country with many climate zones, so the weather in Pune can be completely different from areas that people visit on tours. For a more up to date reading, please see the following website: http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/43063.html

What is monsoon weather like (June-September)?

The monsoon season is actually Sangam’s busiest period of the year, and even though it tends to rain very heavily throughout the season, the weather rarely dampens people’s spirits.  Roads are often flooded, but life continues, traffic moves and people and participants are able to go wherever they need to go.  Sang am has indoor facilities and covered walkways.  We recommend that people bring sensible walking, waterproof shoes and a very light waterproof jacket. (Umbrellas are readily available from Sangam)
