Final Feasibility Report Preparation of Feasibility– cum-Preliminary Design for 4/6 Laning of Jetpur-Somnath section of NH 8D, Package No: NHAI/DBFOII/DPR/02 4.4 AIR ENVIRONMENT 4.4.1 Climate and Meteorology VOLUME III: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT The climate of both the districts is characterized by a hot summer and dryness in the non-rainy seasons. The cold season from December to February is followed by the hot season from March to May. The south-west monsoon season is from June to September and is followed by the post monsoon season from October to November. Meteorological data has been collected from three meteorological stations of the IMD nearest to the site – Rajkot, Keshod (Junagadh) and Veraval (Junagadh). Temperature: The mean maximum temperature in the region reaches 41C in the warmer months from March to June. During the winter season, in December-January, the minimum temperature dips to 12.2C and the maximum temperature remains around 29C. The lowest average monthly minimum temperature is around 21C. The average monthly maximum and minimum temperature of the project region as recorded during the period 2007 by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) is presented in Table 4-2 below.
