Complete step by step answer India is a vast country with a largely varied climate. This is because the Tropic of Cancer passes through the middle of India making it a country with no extreme climate. Tropic of cancer is a latitude at which the sun is directly overhead.
India has both summers and winters but none of them are very extreme as in the other zones. India has arid deserts in the west, in the north is has The Himalayas which has alpine tundra and glaciers, in the southwest, you can find rainforests, The Eastern and Western Ghats and islands, The Andaman and Nicobar Islands and The Lakshadweep Island. Climates of north and south are extremely different. There are basically 5 climate zones in India.
In India,
January and February are known as the winter seasons
March, April and May are known as the summer seasons.
June, July, August and September are known as the rainy season.

Note Climate and weather are two different things. The term weather refers to the short term changes in the atmosphere, like- summer, winter, monsoon etc. The term climate is used to describe the weather conditions in an area over a long period of time. The weather of a place can change at a short period and may even differ within a day or so but climate changes only after a large period of time that is, once is 10 years or so.
