Weather (in Celsius, approx.) :

Haaaa, weather... We often forget take it in consideration while planning the itinerary. Unless you love to get your brand new shoes dirty by indian mud, try to avoid the peak on the moonsoon. The beginning and end of the moonsoon doesn't cause problem, it rains a bit here and there during the day.

Moonsoon :

South Asia Jun-Sep; Oct-Dec
South-East Asia Jun-Oct
Australia Oct-Mar
East Africa Mar-May
Southern Africa Oct-Jun

However, here again it varies within a region and even within one country (like India and Vietnam). Check this link for precision :

That's great info, atchoum! If we're going for a short trip, we usually check out www.weather.com for a 10-day forecast, which is also helpful in planning what to take - for longer trips, we count on needing a range of gear.
