Ranchi in April
Jharkhand, India
April heat pushes temps above 35°C, drying waterfalls to streams
April Ranchi loses its waterfall card — flows thin to trickles, the plateau heats up, and the circuit that defines the city loses its defining feature. The city functions fine, but the nature escapes don't.
