The climate in Bhutan varies a lot due to the high mountains. Southern Bhutan has a hot, humid sub-tropical climate during the summer and dry and warm in winter. Temperatures can vary between 15-30 degrees Celsius. In the Central parts of the country the climate cools a bit, changing to temperate and deciduous forests with warm summers and cool, dry winters. In the far Northern reaches of the kingdom the weather is  extremely cold during winter. Mountain peaks are covered by snow and lower parts are still cool in summer owing to the high altitude terrain. Bhutan's generally dry spring starts in early March and lasts until April.

Summer weather commences by  mid May with occasional showers and continues to late July. The heavier summer rains last from late June through late September which are more monsoonal along the southwest border. Autumn starts from late August till October, and winter begins from November till January with mild snow fall from in mid December.  It is characterized by bright, sunny days and some early snowfalls at higher elevations.   Snowfall is common above elevations of 3,000 meters.
