==Geography and climate==
Mussoorie has an average elevation of about {{convert|2005|m|ft}}. The highest point is "Lal Tibba", at a height of about {{cvt|2275|m|ft}}, although the name Lal Tibba is now also used to describe a lookout point, a short distance from the peak.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mussoorie - Uttarakhand Trips |url=https://uttarakhandtrips.com/destination/mussoorie/ |access-date=2025-03-24 |website=uttarakhandtrips.com |language=en-US}}</ref>

Mussoorie has a fairly typical [[subtropical highland climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Cwb'') for the mid-altitude Himalaya. Summers are warm and very wet, with July and August averaging approximately {{convert|660|mm|in}} of rain per month due to orographic lift of the extremely moist monsoonal air. The pre-monsoon seasons in April and May is warm and generally dry and clear, giving way to heavy rainfall from mid-June, while the post-monsoon season is also dry and clear but substantially cooler. In winter, rainfall is a little more frequent than in the pre-and post-monsoon seasons, and the general weather cool and partly cloudy. Mussoorie usually receives a few spells of snowfall in December, January and February, although the number of snowy days has come down in recent years due to a combination of local and global factors, such as deforestation, construction activity and global warming.{{citation needed|date=April 2020}} Between October and February the town shows the rare "[[winterline]]" phenomenon.<ref>{{cite news |title=What causes 'winterline' and why is it visible only in a few places in the world? |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/What-causes-winterline-and-why-is-it-visible-only-in-a-few-places-in-the-world/articleshow/5231442.cms |access-date=6 April 2020 |work=The Times of India |date=15 November 2009}}</ref>
