The summers can get a little harsh and in daytime temperatures can
soar upto 40°C at times, with evenings bringing in relief! Main
city is packed with hoards of people having ice creams and milkshakes
to shake off the heat! The festivals of 'Holi' is not something
one must miss, with umpteen 'Holi' bashes with the crowd going berserk,
splashing coloured water on each other to the beats of music! The
innumerable swimming pools all over the city can bring in relief
from the heat too!
The temperatures are pretty moderate. Though not as unpredictable
as the British weather, Jamnagar does have its share of uncertainties
in different seasons.
SUMMERS:
Summers here begin from early March to July. Though not as hot
as Northern parts of India, the daytimes are very sunny with dry
heat. Early mornings are pleasant and evenings after six, cool
and breezy.
Bright
summery clothes are an obvious suggestion with sunglasses for
driving. The temperature ranges from 38°C to 20°C. Though,
last year, summer hit a new high with 40+ a common temp.
MONSOONS:
Being on the leeward side of the ghats, jamnagar has a good three
months of rains from July-August to October. Clear skies in the
morning are not to be deceived by, as it does rain in the evenings.
Umbrellas for pedestrians and raincoats for drivers are a must,
as there lies no escape. While driving, beware of potholes and
use a minimum of two pairs of shoes as drying takes about 2-3
days. Temperatures range from 18-19 degrees to 30 degrees.
WINTERS:
From November to January, Jamnagar has it’s winter season.
Though light woollens are fine during the day, early mornings,
evenings and night times require more clothing as it’s chilly.
6°C
was the lowest recorded last year. For drivers, windcheaters and
head covers are a must. Hot cupsa coffee are highly enjoyable
during mornings and evenings.
The
months of November and December are welcomed with biting cold
and so the enthusiastic ones who want to celebrate the 'New Year',
not to forget Christmas in Jamnagar, must make sure that they
have a good supply of warm party wears. Or risk wearing stringy
outfits if blessed with immunity towards cold! What's more, these
parties are on the outskirts… so enjoy the drive and the
pulsating music!
