| The
climate of Rajasthan can be divided into four seasons:
Pre-Monsoons, Monsoon, Post-Monsoon and Winter. |

Pre-monsoon Season |
| Pre-monsoon, which
extends from April to June, is the hottest season,
with temperatures ranging from 32C to 45C. In western
Rajasthan the temp may rise to 48C, particularly
in May and June. At this time, Rajasthan only hill
station, Mt Abu registers the lowest temperatures.
In the desert regions, the temperatures drops in
night. Prevailing winds are from the west and sometimes
