Ujjain experiences a warm sub-tropical climate, typical of the North Central India. Summer starts in late March with temperatures rising to 45°C at its peak in May. In addition, hot winds (called loo) may blow in the afternoons, adding to the discomfort. The monsoon arrives in the middle of June and continues till early October. About 870 mm (35 inches) of precipitation is received during those months, though some years may see the figure climb up to 40 inches.

The rest of October generally is very warm and with high humidity. Winter starts in the middle of November and is pleasant and cool with daytime temperatures typically 20°C, though temperatures can drop significantly in the night. January takes chilli winds (called Sheet-lehar) with it, and sometimes daytime temperature rise only up to 15-17°C, and minimum temperature fall to 3C, 0°C is the lowest temperature recorded in the city in January 1982 and 1965. The morning dew in the outskirts of the city, and fields and farms turns ice because of some nights of freezing points, which results in damaged crops almost every year.

Famous quotes containing the word climate:

    “There is much to be said against the climate on the coast of British Columbia and Alaska; yet, I believe that the scenery of one good day will compensate the tourists who will go there in increasing numbers.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “If often he was wrong and at times absurd,
    To us he is no more a person
    Now but a whole climate of opinion.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    “Nobody is so constituted as to be able to live everywhere and anywhere; and he who has great duties to perform, which lay claim to all his strength, has, in this respect, a very limited choice. The influence of climate upon the bodily functions ... extends so far, that a blunder in the choice of locality and climate is able not only to alienate a man from his actual duty, but also to withhold it from him altogether, so that he never even comes face to face with it.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
