Climate of Bhutan
Monsoon determines the climate of Bhutan. An average of 75% of Bhutan’s rainfall in its western side is because of these monsoon changes. The landscape of Bhutan is so varied and so its climate. For ex ample, Southern Bhutan is subtropical and humid just like its foot hills. Inner Himalayan Valleys are more temperate and the Northern part of Bhutan always has snow capped mountains and so the climate is too cold there.
The temperature variations can be felt according to their altitude. The highest part Thimphu has a warm climate during June to September. You can feel the temperature fall between 17° C and 26° C during summer and monsoon where as the temperature falls down to – 4° C. The climate of central Bhutan is almost cool and temperate where as the Southern part of Bhutan is Hot and Humid all through the year. Snow can be visible above the elevations of 3,000 meters from mid of December till mid of February.
