We don't normally have humidity, if we had my choice of plants would have been tropical. Humidity we have in July, Aug and maybe a bit of September. Then we have humidity during fog in winters. About four months of the year rest is dry, arid humidity about 17%. We have cold and and cool weather for about four months. Four months of the year we bake at above 40c. Two months before and two months after Monsoons. Winters are colder due to the hills(anything lower then 10000feet is considered a hill) and mountains which are covered in snow.
It is raining today and from 22c it has fallen to 12c. The earth has cooled suddenly and created a low pressure area into which the cold air from the mountains is rushing in. By midnight it will be 4c.
It is the presence of the mountains which modifies and confuses. Even during the Monsoons it can dramatically become colder.
Ok! Now has Dave done some modifications? I see a floating (textarea#post_textarea) on top?
Regards,
Arif.
