Wetter in Jodhpur im Januar

Asked whether to do Mehrangarh in the morning or the evening, the Jodhpur forum says morning, and gives two reasons that both favour January: the air is cool and comfortable at that hour, and the light is better for photographing the blue city from the ramparts. Later in the day, even in winter, the fort gets warm. The month itself runs warm and sunny by afternoon and genuinely cool at either end - Rajasthan regulars put the nights near 5 to 10C - so light clothes with full sleeves plus a sweater covers it. The record: 25.4C days against 9.6C nights, humidity 52 percent, 0.8 precipitation days, 9.6 hours of sun - and AQI 106.

Regulars are specific daytime temperatures in this city commonly reach 30 to 35C, genuinely dry heat rather than the humid kind, with landing in the first couple of weeks the standard advice for beating the worst of it before the month's later heat builds. Our row backs that hot, genuinely dry read, 34.4C reading as a hot 33C, over 18.6C nights feeling 16C, with rain essentially absent, 3.2mm across under a day, and humidity down to just 30 percent. Regulars are consistent late in the month brings meaningfully better hotel rates and thinner crowds than the October-through-February peak season, the tradeoff being real afternoon heat by then. Sun protection and a slower midday pace remain the standard advice throughout. The record: 10.9 hours of sun, a 15.7 kph wind and AQI 71.

Regulars call this one of the best months to visit Rajasthan, describing days warm enough for a single shirt and nights that turn properly nippy - a pattern that sharpens as the month goes on, late November running noticeably colder in the evenings than its start. Our row carries a warmer daytime figure than some individual trip reports remember, 32C reading as 31C, though the overnight side matches closely at 15.5C. Rain has essentially stopped, 4.2mm across well under a day, and the air is dry at 45.3 percent humidity - the desert making itself felt in the temperature swing between an afternoon in the sun and an evening at the fort. The record: 9.9 hours of sun, an 11.9 kph wind and AQI 99.

Jodhpur-forum threads asking if early May is simply too hot get a consistent answer: yes, genuinely, with temperatures regularly clearing 40C, but posters call it manageable rather than a reason to skip the visit entirely if a traveler plans around it. The standing advice is the same across threads - schedule the fort and old-city walking for early morning or evening, book a hotel and car with reliable air conditioning, treat 11am-4pm as strictly indoor time. Regulars describe the heat as intensely dry rather than humid, more bearable than a muggier climate at the same temperature. April through August gets flagged as the season to avoid for anyone with flexible dates. The record: a blistering 41.6C by day feeling like 41C, 27.9C nights, essentially no precipitation at all, a bone-dry 31 percent humidity and 11.9 hours of sun - among the hottest entries on this destination's whole calendar.

February sits inside the October-to-March window Rajasthan regulars name, and their description of the day is two climates: a little hot in the middle of it, genuinely cold early morning and late evening, with a jacket or something woollen needed at both ends. Our row for Jodhpur is exactly that shape - 29.6C by day against 13.1C at night, at 36 percent humidity, which is desert air doing what desert air does. Rain is effectively zero, 0.6mm across 0.1 days. It is also peak season, so the forts and the old city are busy. The record: feels-like 27C by day and 10C at night, 10.3 hours of sun and AQI 83.
