| Climate |
|
The states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh,
the Punjab, Haryana and Bihar can broadly be categorised
as falling in Northern Plains region. These plains
have rather extreme climatic conditions throughout
the year. During summer months, from end-April
to mid-July, it is time for proverbial heat and
dust. From mid-July to end September it is rainy
reason and the climate is humid and hence a little
uncomfortable for traveling. From October it starts
to get pleasant in North India; by the end of
November the climate is a little cold but very
much bearable. Only during December and January
that cold is rather too much in the mornings and
evenings; however, even during this time of the
year days are sunny and pleasant.
