The short answer
When to go to Barmer
The best window is November to February, when daytime highs sit between about 25 and 32 C and rain is rare. March and October are workable if you keep to early mornings. From April to June, IMD normals show highs of 40 C or more, and July to September brings humid monsoon weather. For older travellers, winter also gives the most comfortable hours at Kiradu, where there is little shade, though nights can be cold.
