To the west of the Aravali range, the weather is characterized by low rainfall with erratic distribution, extremes of diurnal and annual temperatures, low humidity and high wind velocity.
While in the east of the Aravali range, the weather is characterized by relatively low wind velocity and high humidity with better rainfall.
