Once they settle down in August a little, they retain their pace in September and October. In November they start slowing down and give way to the Dry Season. The highest temperature during this season is 35 degree Celsius on an average and can fall down to as low as 22 degree Celsius.
  • Dry Season (December- March) : The highest temperature during this season is 34 degree Celsius but it maintains an average of about 32 degree Celsius. The lowest average temperature during these months is 20 Degree Celsius. There is low or no rainfall during this particular season.
