Climate & Ecology
Climate
Bidhwan is a semi-arid region and agriculture is supported mainly by canals and ground water irrigation. Bidhwan lies at the northeast edge of the Thar Desert. Hot winds, locally known as 'Loo', are strong and frequent from May to July. Intermittent dust storms are common. In the winter some rain is received due to western disturbances.
Bidhwan has a continental climate, with very hot summers and relatively cool winters. Summer starts in April and lasts till the middle of October. May is the hottest month, with the maximum day temperatures in the 48 °C (118 °F) range. Bidhwan experiences a weak monsoon, from late June to September, with about 15 inches (380 mm) of rain. Winter starts in November and is mild and sunny, although temperatures may reach freezing on some nights.
Main ecological issues are desertification, deforestation, encroachment and land grabbing of common Panchayat forest and grazing land called "bani". Deterioration of scant Acacia vegetation on the slopes of stable sand dunes has reactivated the dune building activity. The active and reactivated dunes are Sub-Recent in age.[21]
