Read on to know more about the best time to visit Cuttack.

The best season to visit Cuttack is winter, with December and January being the coldest months of the year. The average temperature during daytime falls within the range of 15ᴼC - 20ᴼC, with a pleasant sunny weather that is perfect for sightseeing and enjoying all outdoor activities. Nights tend to get colder and can often go below 10ᴼC during peak winter months. It is also advisable to travel with an umbrella since occasional winter showers are not entirely uncommon.

Summers are not a very suitable time to travel to Cuttack, as the entire season experiences scorching heat waves that make any kind of outdoor activity unbearably difficult. The lowest temperature lies around an average of 35ᴼC and the highest averaging around an intense 40ᴼC. Do not visit Cuttack through these months as the heat is unbearable and bars you from doing anything outdoor until the sun has set. Which effectively renders your whole day useless. 

Cuttack does not experience a very intense monsoon season. The rain showers tend to remain in the mid range level, most of which come from the South West Monsoon. The temperatures average around 30ᴼC, with the rains helping to bring down the heat level from the extreme summer months. Occasional thunderstorms are also witnessed during the peak monsoon season. Not a very good time to visit either as heavy downpour may spoil your plans.
