⚡ Quick Answer
The best time to paint a house in India is October to March — after monsoon and before extreme summer heat. For exterior painting, avoid monsoon (June–September) at all costs. Interior painting can be done year-round but avoid when humidity exceeds 85%.

Quick Tip
Paint in the morning hours (7am–12pm) — surfaces are cooler, brush marks level better, and paint dries at the right rate. Avoid afternoon painting in summer when surfaces exceed 40°C.
