| Jaipur has extreme climate very much like
the northern parts of India. There is a large
variation in temperature scales for summers
and winters. In summers the temperature rises
to a good above 40 °C and in winters drops
to about 8 °C. In winters the temperature
goes to a maximum of 22 °C. It is quite
hot in summers and the winters are chilly.
However, the intervening period between October
and March is the best in Jaipur.
The city receives little rainfall throughout
the year. An average rainfall of 64 centimetres
is received by the old city. Monsoon starts
in the third week of July, but the state
does not experience much of rainy days.
In late June come the monsoon which provides
great relief. It is preceded by dust and
thunderstorms while the post-monsoon season
in September is followed by another hot
spell.
The cold winter evenings are accompanied
with fog that envelops the city in the evening.
As such there is less visibility which hampers
the traffic in and around the city.
