Delhi or Hyderabad?

1,267 km apart, both in India. Each is scored month by month on the same ten years of climate readings, the public holidays that crowd it, and what the flight costs. This is where they part, and when.

Delhi is the better pick in September to October; Hyderabad in June and November to January; either in February to March and August. April to May and July are best avoided at both.

Each cell is that destination's own verdict for the month — sweet spot, ok or avoid — with its typical daily high and its rainy days ("11d"). The pick goes to the better verdict; with the same verdict, to the higher score, unless the two are within a whisker of each other, when it is either. A month both would avoid is neither. A dot marks a busy month.

Before you go

Both are in India, so the currency, the plugs and the travel advice are the same: type C and D plugs, driving on the left, paying in the Indian rupee. Everything for India.

Between them

1,267 km as the crow flies, about 2h 28m in the air.

The flight time is estimated from the distance. A road, train or bus is named only where it was measured — flights from AeroDataBox, roads from OpenRouteService, timetables via Transitous — and none of it is a fare; the searches on each destination's page are where prices live.

Also compared

Every verdict here is the destination's own: ten years of climate readings, the public holidays that crowd it, and what the flight costs. The comparison is the difference between two pages, not a third opinion.
