About Sankra weather
Sankra is one of many towns in Rajasthan's semi-arid to arid landscape, ranging from the Thar Desert in the west to somewhat wetter country in the east, about 154 km west of Jodhpur. Before the rains arrive, there's an extreme summer (April–June) with highs often exceeding 42–46°C in the desert west, among the hottest anywhere in India. Then comes a comparatively weak south-west monsoon (July–September), lighter and less reliable than most of India, especially in the western desert districts. Cooler months mean a cold winter (December–January) with big day-night temperature swings — desert nights can approach 0°C even as afternoons stay mild.
