    Sikkim has five seasons and experiences a varied climate ranging from sub-tropical in the south to alpine in the north. Temperatures generally do not exceed 28°C in summer and average around 18°C for most of the state. Sikkim receives regular snowfall, with the snow line varying between 4,900-6,100 meters, and the northern tundra region is snowbound for four months each year. Heavy rains during the monsoon increase landslide risks, while fog during winter and monsoons can make transportation difficult.

    • The state has five seasons: winter, summer, spring, autumn, and monsoon
    season. Sikkim's climate ranges from sub tropical in the south to in the
    north.
    • Most of the inhabited regions of Sikkim experience a temperature climate,
    with temperatures seldom exceeding 28 °C in summer. The average annual
    temperature for most of Sikkim is around 18 °C.
    • Sikkim is one of the few states in India to receive regular snowfall. The snow
    line ranges from 6,100 meters in the south of the state to 4,900 meters in the
    north.
    • The tundra-type region in the north is snowbound for four months every
    year, and the temperature drops below 0 °C almost every night .In north-
    western Sikkim, the peaks are frozen year-round; because of the high
    altitude, temperatures in the mountains can drop to as low as −40 °C in
    winter.
    • During the monsoon, heavy rains increase the risk of landslides.. Fog
    affects many parts of the state during winter and the monsoons, making
    transportation perilous.
