Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.

Weather read at the Dwarkadhish temple: ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. It is flagged rather than scored down, and crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

How busy it gets

Busiest in August and December; quietest in February and April.

What Dwarka is like

Dwarka is a city and a municipality in Gujarat, India. Dwarkadish temple is one of the finest in India, and it dominates the city's small skyline. Sunset point near the Gomti river and its ghats are exceptionally beautiful at all times of day, though perhaps a little risky late at night. More on Wikivoyage

Worth seeing: Most importantly, Dwarkadhish mandir sits at the heart of this small city. There are a lot of places around Dwarka which can be covered in a single day. More on Wikivoyage
Worth doing: Take a plunge into Gomti river, adjacent to Dwarkadhish Temple. It's really refreshing. More on Wikivoyage
Getting in: Dwarka is 450 km from Ahmedabad. Nearby airports are at Rajkot (225 km away) and Jamnagar (121 km away). More on Wikivoyage
