The soul of India, the Kumbh Mela is almost a religion in itself. The significance of an ordinary and still not so ordinary bath can be known only if one experiences this enlightening experience for himself. Earlier in the month of January Skymet Weather had forecasted the weather of Allahabad so that if you are planning to visit the holy city, you can plan accordingly. And because it’s never too late, the Kumbh Mela will be on for the entire February month, you must book your tickets soon.
Avid travelers are always ‘weather wise’ when it comes to making plans to travel to a new city and that is why we have decided to provide an update on the weather of Allahabad for the month of February during the Kumbh Mela 2013.
Weathermen at Skymet forecast rainy days ahead during the Kumbh Mela 2013. The weather of Allahabad will be cloudy and the sun will be dull. Light rain is expected on Feb 7th and 8th. Fog, on the other hand will not hamper flights or bother travelers for a week but it could bring some trouble from Feb 9th to 12th. Fog could be dense during these days. Till then, thick mist and haze will block the view of the sun for all those wanting to take a dip in the Ganges early morning.
The first few days of the February month was pleasant with the morning temperature at 11⁰C and the maximum around 27⁰C. The weather of Allahabad could be a bit warmer as the temperatures could rise after the 12th of Feb and days will be bright and sunny. Though the weather will be perfect and fog free on the crucial days of Ekadashi (Feb 6th), Mauni Amavasya Snan (Feb 10th) and Basant Panchami (Feb 15th) during the Kumbh Mela 2013, when millions and millions of people take a dip in the holy water.
