Wokha enjoys a sub-tropical to temperate climate, largely dictated by its elevation. The Köppen climate classification is generally Cwa (monsoon-influenced humid subtropical).
Summers (March to May) are relatively mild and pleasant, with average maximum temperatures rarely exceeding 28°C (82°F). Winters (December to February) are crisp and cold, with nighttime temperatures occasionally dropping to 2°C (35°F), though snow is extremely rare in the town itself. Wokha experiences heavy monsoon rainfall from May through September, which sustains its lush environment but can also trigger landslides. The best time to visit is from October to April, when the weather is cool and clear, and the monsoon rains have subsided.
