Reliable Minor delays Delays likely Major disruptions
North India winter fog Dec, Jan

December-January is peak fog season in North India. Dense morning fog (especially 3 AM-10 AM) regularly drops visibility below the 550m minimum needed for takeoff. Delhi airport — the worst affected — sees hundreds of cancellations and 2-4 hour delays during severe fog spells. Lucknow, Patna, Varanasi, Amritsar, and Kolkata are similarly impacted. Airlines use CAT-III equipped aircraft to operate during lower visibility, but delays remain common.

💡 Tip: Consider booking afternoon or evening flights (post 11 AM) in Dec-Jan — visibility typically improves by mid-morning. Keep buffer time for connections. Check flight status 2-3 hours before departure.

Late-winter fog (reduced) Feb

February sees fog frequency reduce significantly but early-morning departures can still face delays of 30-90 minutes on fog-prone days. Severity is much lower than Dec-Jan.

💡 Tip: Fog delays are typically shorter in February. Early-morning flights occasionally delayed; mid-day onwards reliable.

Southwest monsoon Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep

June to September is peak monsoon for most of India's west coast, south, and east. Mumbai, Goa, Kerala, and Karnataka airports see heavy rainfall-triggered delays and occasional diversions. Kolkata is hit by cyclonic systems from the Bay of Bengal. Flight cancellations spike when runways flood or cross-wind limits are exceeded. July is typically the worst month.

💡 Tip: Book refundable fares during monsoon months. Avoid tight connections — monsoon delays can cascade. Late morning flights (8-11 AM) tend to be less affected than afternoon thunderstorm window.

Pre-monsoon thunderstorms (Nor'easters) Apr, May

April-May brings sudden thunderstorms ("Kalbaisakhi") to East and North India, typically in afternoon and evening hours. Flights in 3 PM-8 PM window most affected. Delays of 45-120 minutes common on stormy days at Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, Patna.

💡 Tip: Book morning flights (before 2 PM) during April-May if flying to/from East India. Check weather forecast the day before.

Northeast monsoon & Bay of Bengal cyclones Oct, Nov

Oct-Nov is cyclone season for the Bay of Bengal. Chennai, Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, Vizag can see days-long shutdowns during major cyclones. Non-cyclone days are usually fine. Risk is episodic, not constant.

💡 Tip: Monitor weather advisories when booking Oct-Nov travel to East Coast. Most days are normal — only named cyclones trigger major disruptions.

💡 Typical price range on this route

Prices on MEL→CCU typically range from ₹58,556 to ₹1,17,682 — based on 440 fare observations over the last 30 days.
