(50° to 80°F.), a hot season from March to mid-June with temperature from 38° to 46° C. (100° to 115°F.) and a wet monsoon period from mid-June to September with warm temperature generally around 32°C. (9O°F.) and humidity from 60 to 80 percent. Practically all rain falls during the monsoon period. It varies from 20 inches to 60 inches, gradually increasing from West to East, and is far higher in the extreme North, where it is augmented by air currents rising against Himalayan range.
