The short answer
When to go to Ahmedabad
The most comfortable window is November to February, with cool mornings and warm, dry afternoons; October and March are decent shoulder months. Avoid April to June, when daytime highs regularly top 39°C, and be cautious in July–August, when heavy monsoon rain can flood the old city's narrow lanes. For seniors, the dry winter months make the uneven stone lanes and havelis far easier to manage, and heat-related fatigue is much less of a risk.
