Climate
The climate of Rajasthan can be divided
into four seasons: Summers, Monsoon, Post-Monsoon and winter.
A summer, which extends from April to June, is the hottest season, with temperatures
ranging from 32 degree C to 45 degree C. In western Rajasthan the temp may rise
to 48 degree C, particularly in May and June. At this time, Rajasthan's only
hill station, Mt Abu registers the lowest temperatures. In the desert regions,
the temperature drops at night. Prevailing winds are from the west and sometimes
carry dust storms (we call them aandhi).
The second season Monsoon extends from July to September, temp drops, but humidity
increases, even when there is slight drop in the temp (35 degree C to 40 degree
C). 90% of rains occur during this period.
The Post-monsoon period is from October to November. The average maximum temperature
is 33 degree C to 38 degree C, and the minimum is between 18 degree C and 20
degree C.
The fourth season is Winter or the cold season, from December to March. There
is a marked variation in maximum and minimum temperatures, and regional variations
across the state. January is the coolest month of the year. And temp may drop
to 0 degree C in some cities of Rajasthan, like Churu. There is slight precipitation
in the north and northeastern region of the state, and light winds, predominantly
from the north and northeast. At this time, relative humidity ranges from 50%
to 60% in the morning, and 25% to 35% in the afternoon.
