Field notes
Thar Desert edge — among the hottest and driest climates on this list. Hot season (April–June) regularly hits 40°C+ with dust storms; only the brief monsoon (July–September) breaks the heat. Winter (November–February) is the only sustainable nomad window — 17–25°C with very low humidity. Cold winter nights (sub-10°C) are surprising for a desert location.
