An A- from me - temperatures are pretty good but too stable, and dry/wet seasons are too extreme.

B-. Biggest problem is the mild winters and dry season during the hottest part of the year.

In many ways similar to my dream climate. Nothing can be as good as that, so B+.

Solid B, close to an A except for the record cold. Simply a Monsoonal climate at a bit of altitude, wish we ( the Top End ) had some decent high country and we would also have similar climates. At 24.6*N and 1200m asl, those cool/cold dry season nights are not anything out of the ordinary. To me, this would be a damn exiting climate with a seasonal drought, then an almost certainly stormy 'build up' season to the breaking of the Indian Monsoon in June/July. Solid rains, everything lush and green, the countryside coming alive again.... ...magnificant ! And tommyFL, its in the Northern Hemisphere, so the dry season there is also the winter months. |

The dry season is more than just winter though. October through May could easily be considered the "dry season", and May is the hottest month. Compare to higher elevation places in Nepal and northern India. Their dry season is notably shorter (mainly Nov-Feb) and does not coincide with the warmest time of the year. |

I think you have misunderstood me a bit, or I've not explained it enough....in monsoonal climes ( at least in Australia ) our hottest months dont follow the callandar seasons, generally the 2 or 3 months prior to the arrival of the monsoon trough are the hottest on average, and often one or two months after the monsoons are over are also warm/hot on average. Same as in India....in the areas that are monsoonal, its usually April/May that are hottest ( Northern Hemiphere ) and in Australia Oct/Nov. See the data for Katherine you'll see what I mean |

I was just saying in my original post that the low rainfall during May is a major reason why I gave it a lower grade. There are lots of better climates that are still monsoonal, yet still have ample rainfall during the hottest months. |

There are lots of better climates that are still monsoonal, yet still have ample rainfall during the hottest months. Fair enough....its just a combination of the increased cloud cover and moisture laden wind directions that reduces the temps during the rainy months.....I cant think of too many monsoonal climes in Australia that are hotter in Jan/Feb/March than in Oct/Nov/Dec Our monsoons on average commence between Xmas and New Year, Indian one about 2nd week in June.....in both countries/regions its a greatly anticipated event because the cloud cover cools things down after months of relentless heat |

I gave it a D. It's not as bad as the rest of Rajasthan, but still rather hot outside winter.

Pretty decent climate considering it's located in the subcontinent, still not working with me. Grade D.

B-. Good high temperatures but diurnal ranges in winter are too high and the rain is far too concentrated in two months.
