| January | 5/5 | January at Statue of Unity: 10-26°C, clear Narmada Valley views from the 153m gallery. Dry enough for the Valley of Flowers walk; jungle safari park open daily. |
| February | 4/5 | February at Statue of Unity: 14-30°C, dry Narmada valley views and clear viewing gallery visibility. Solid window before April heat erodes outdoor comfort. |
| March | 3/5 | March at Statue of Unity: 20-36C. Narmada valley views still fine; viewing gallery is AC but queues and approach plaza get hot fast. |
| April | 2/5 | Hot |

| June | 2/5 | Pre-monsoon |
| July | 3/5 | Monsoon — Narmada in full flow |
