Historical weather data, all-time temperature records, and monthly climate averages for Dhanbad, Jharkhand, India. Explore typical weather conditions by week for trip planning, and see how today compares to the historical record.
April 4th in Dhanbad is deep in peak heat season — expect a high around 98° and a low of 71°, with only a 1-in-4 chance of any rain to cool things down. Last year pushed the date's record to a scorching 107°, while the all-time coolest April 4th low of 59° back in 1965 feels like a different city entirely.
Dhanbad plays for keeps when it comes to heat — the all-time high of 114° was set on June 9, 1966, and temperatures regularly push triple digits from March through May. On the other end, a January 1962 low of 40° proves winters can bite, and a single September day in 1978 dumped a remarkable 8.76 inches of rain.
Plan around two defining seasons: a brutal hot stretch from March through May where highs routinely hit 100°, and a monsoon window peaking in late June and early July that brings nearly 3 inches of rain in a single week on average. Winters are mild and dry, with January highs in the mid-70s making December through February the most comfortable time to visit.
