The best time to visit Jaipur is October to March (winter season) when the weather is cool and pleasant with temperatures ranging from 8°C to 25°C. January is the coolest month and coincides with Jaipur Literature Festival (late January) — the world's largest literary festival. February has Jaipur's famous Kite Festival (Makar Sankranti). April to June is very hot (40°C+) but forts and palaces are less crowded and hotels are cheaper. Avoid July–September (monsoon) for outdoor sightseeing though the landscape is lush and green.

Jaipur can be visited year-round but has a strong seasonal variation. Here's a month-by-month guide:
Month-by-Month Jaipur Weather
| Month | Temp | Conditions | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jan–Feb | 8–22°C | Cool, clear, dry | ✅ Excellent |
| March | 14–28°C | Warming up, still clear | ✅ Very good |
| April–May | 22–42°C | Hot and dry | ⚠️ Manageable, fewer crowds |
| June | 28–45°C | Pre-monsoon — extreme heat | ❌ Avoid |
| July–August | 25–38°C | Monsoon rains, humidity | ⚠️ Lush and green, quiet |
| September | 24–36°C | End of monsoon, cleaner air | ✅ Good |
| October–November | 15–30°C | Perfect weather, peak season | ✅ Best |
| December | 8–22°C | Cool evenings, pleasant days | ✅ Excellent |
Best Months Overall: October–March
October and November hit the sweet spot — post-monsoon clarity, pleasant days (25°C), cool evenings, and the pink sandstone of Amber Fort and Hawa Mahal glowing beautifully in the clear air.
December–February is also excellent but evenings can be cold (8–10°C) — bring a warm layer for Nahargarh Fort sunset.
