/ The Country and its People / Climate
The southern
part of Bhutan is tropical, and is general the east of Bhutan
is warmer than the west. The central valleys of Wangdue, Punakha
and in the east, Mongar, Tashigang, Lhuntshi enjoy a semitropical
climate with cool winters, whilst Thimphu, Trongsa and Bumtnang
have a much harsher climate with monsoon rains in summer and snow
fall in winter which often blocks the passes leading into the
central valleys.
Winter in
Bhutan is from mid-November to mid-March, and at this time of
the year the climate is dry with temperature falling below zero.
The monsoon
usually arrives in mid-June with the rain falling mainly in the
afternoons and evenings. At the end of September, after the last
of the big rains, autumn suddenly arrives, and is a magnificent
season for trekking until mid-November.
