Geography
The district is at the center of the Gird region, and is mostly a relatively level plain. This plain, though broken in its southern portion by low hills, has generally an elevation of only a few hundred feet above sea-level. In the summer season the climate is very hot, the shade temperature rising frequently to around 44°C (112°F), but in the winter months (from November to February inclusive) it is usually temperate and for short periods extremely cold.
