The southern part of Bhutan is tropical,
and in general the east of Bhutan is warmer than the west
of the country. The central valley of Punakha, Wangdiphodrang,
Mongar, Tashigang and Lhuntshi enjoy a semi tropical climate
with very cool winters, while Thimphu, Tongsa and Bumthang
have a temperate climate, with monsoon rains in the summer
and snow-fall in winter. Winter in Bhutan is from mid-November
until mid-March, and at this time of year the climate
is dry, with daytime temperature of 16-19 degree centigrade
(with sunshine and clear skies) and nighttime temperature
falling below zero. The monsoon usually arrives 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-lasting until mid-November.
