The stations of the Panjab are situated 7 to 12° north of the Tropic of Cancer.
With the Himalaya to the north, and a broad sandy desert to the south over which
every breeze from the seas least distant has first to pass, they have a climate
differing in means and variations from that of any other part of India.
The cool season is remarkably fresh, the hottest season no longer concides with
our spring but with our summer; and, what is more important still, it is here we find
one of the hottest regions of the globe. The rains have lost their tropical character,
being reduced to isolated heavy storms; only in autumn we find the Panjab to partake
of that uniformity of temperature which, spread over 30 degrees of longitude, includes
all the northern and central parts of India. For some stations, such as Peshaur and
particularly Raulpmdi — which latter may be considered one of the healthiest Indian
stations—the elevation of the ground also essentially modifies the climate.
