Pick India 🇮🇳 if you're going in…

January, February, October, November, December

Plan India by region, not by country — climate varies by 30°C across it on the same day.

Pick United Kingdom 🇬🇧 if you're going in…

April, May, June, July, August

May has long days and the fewest Scottish midges.

Months where both are equally good: March, September.
