Jodhpur,
the second largest city in the state of Rajasthan after
Jaipur, lies on the brink of the Thar desert, and its
climate certainly follows the desert pattern of dry hot
summers with soaring temperatures and at the other
extreme biting cold winter nights. However, the evening
temperatures in summer drop considerably and make nights
much more tolerable and the winter sun makes for crisp,
bright days. A fair amount of rainfall in the months of
July and August ensure that the catchment areas in and
around the city fill up and that the city is fairly
green. At
the heart of the Mewar region, it is a central node to
many places of interest in the region.
