The short answer
When to go to Kausani
The clearest skies and most comfortable days are in March to May and October to November, when the peaks are most often visible and rain is light. December to February is cold but can be sharp and bright, so bring heavy layers. July to September is wet and cloudy, with a higher risk of landslides on the access roads. Older travellers will find spring and autumn gentlest. Climate figures are from Mukteshwar, about 280 m higher, so Kausani is likely a little warmer.
