Kite Flyer’s Insight
Generic weather apps tell you it’s “Sunny,” but we know you care about the intense kite flying. The real situation seems to be like this:
-
Saturday is the gold-standard day. The steady 15 km/h wind from the East means your kite will stay stable even at high altitudes.
-
Sunday might feel a bit “heavy.” The wind drops significantly in the afternoon, so if you’re planning a big Gudda battle, do it before 2:00 PM.
Pro-Tip for Travelers: The nights are still dropping to 10°C. If you’re booked for a “Midnight Basant” rooftop tour, don’t forget a light jacket or a pashmina shawl.
