Lahore experiences a continental climate with distinct seasons characterized by hot summers, mild winters, and a pronounced monsoon period. The city sees three main seasons: a cool, dry winter from December to February with pleasant temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to low 70s°F; a hot, dry pre-monsoon period from March to June with temperatures soaring above 100°F in May and June; and a hot, wet monsoon season from July to September when rainfall peaks at over 7 inches per month. The post-monsoon period in October and November offers warm days and cooler nights with minimal rainfall, making it one of the most comfortable times of year. Humidity remains consistently around 70% throughout the year, while the dramatic seasonal rainfall variation defines much of the city's weather patterns.
