Summers last from April to mid-June with diurnal highs ranging from the upper 30s°C to the mid 40s°C and lows in the low 30s°C. Daily heat is often followed by evening rains known as <i>kalboishakhis</i> or dust-storms (<i>loo</i>). Monsoon rains can last from mid-June to late August or even September, with rains from the southeast <a href="/wiki/Monsoon" title="Monsoon">monsoon</a> contributing most of the annual rainfall of around 1500 mm. Winters last for 2 to 3 months and are mild; typical lows are from 8 °C – 14 °C. Allergies are common in winter and spring due to the high content of particulate dust in the air. </p><p>Soils near the <a href="/wiki/Kangsabati_River" title="Kangsabati River">Kangsabati River</a> are <a href="/wiki/Alluvial" class="mw-redirect" title="Alluvial">alluvial</a> with a high-degree of clay or sand, whereas soils towards Rangamati are <a href="/wiki/Lateritic" class="mw-redirect" title="Lateritic">lateritic</a>.
