CLIMATE OF RAJASTHAN
Maximum Temperature: 46 degree Celsius
Minimum Temperature: 8 degree Celsius
Best Time To Visit: October To March
Basically, Rajasthan is marked with the tropical climate.
Months from October to February are very cold and March to September are
very hot. The state gets very scant rainfall and in the desert region,
during summer, people fetch water from miles away. The southern part of
the state is watered by River Luni and the Chambal River and its
tributaries form an alluvial basin in Kota.
Rajasthan is one of the driest regions of India. Its location on the
margins of pure desert has made much of it particularly susceptible to
climatic change, and fossil sand dunes as Far East as Delhi testify to the
advance and retreat of the desert over the last 5,000 years. The climate
varies throughout Rajasthan. Temperature
Pre-monsoon season, which extends from April to June, is the hottest
season, with temperatures ranging from 32 degree Celsius to 45 degree
Celsius. There is little relief from the scorching onslaught of the heat,
particularly in the arid zone to the west and northwest of the Aravalli
range, where temperatures often climb above 45 degree Celsius,
particularly in May and June.
Summer : Max: 46°C Min: 25°C Winter :
Max: 28°C Min: 8°C
Mt Abu registers the lowest temperatures at this time. In the desert
region, the temperature rises as night falls. Prevailing winds are from
the west end and carry dust storms.
The season of much interest to visitors is the winter, or cold season,
which extends from December to March. January is the coolest month of the
year. In winter, the daily maximum in most low-lying areas is 22°C to
28°C and the minimum 8°C to 14°C.
Rainfall
Over three-quarters of the rainfall occurs between July and September.
The Aravalli range tends to experience a higher rainfall and lower
temperatures throughout the year. To the southwest there is higher
rainfall and marked humidity. Average rainfall varies; the western deserts
accumulate about 100 mm (about 4 in) annually, while the southeastern part
of the state receives 650 mm (26 in) annually, most of which falls from
July through September during the monsoon season.
