The short answer
When to go to Medak
November to February is the best window, with dry weather, mild days and cool mornings that suit the fort climb and sanctuary walks; December is the driest and coolest month. March is warm, and April and May are very hot, with mean highs around 40 to 41 degrees Celsius, so older travellers should avoid them. The monsoon from June to September is wet, with August the heaviest at about 260 mm, which makes steps slippery and can close river-side sites such as Edupayala. The cathedral works in any season.
