All 12 Months
| Month | Score | Note |
|---|---|---|
| January | 4/5 | January at Surat: 14-29°C, coolest window of the year and prime street-food weather. Works well — peak crispness held from December before heat returns. |
| February | 4/5 | February at Surat: 16-31°C, dry street-food evenings and pleasant diamond-market walks. Edge of peak — comfortable before March heat. |
| March | 3/5 | March at Surat: 23-36C, sticky. Street food and diamond district run normally; outdoor sightseeing best at dawn or after sunset. |
| April | 2/5 | Hot |
| Mayviewing | 1/5 | Very hot |
| June | 2/5 | Pre-monsoon |
| July | 2/5 | Heavy monsoon |
| August | 2/5 | Flooding risk |
| September | 3/5 | September at Surat: 25-33C. Monsoon fading, diamond district and food scene run normally; outdoor sightseeing still weather-dependent. |
| October | 4/5 | October in Surat: 24–34°C, post-monsoon humidity easing, food streets back to full rhythm. Shoulder — diamond-market tours workable, peak tourism builds Nov–Jan. |
| November | 5/5 | Perfect food weather |
| December | 5/5 | December at Surat: 14–30°C on the Tapi. Cool evenings pull the street food crowds out — Ghari season and textile markets at full tilt. |
