All 12 Months
| Month | Score | Note |
|---|---|---|
| January | 4/5 | January at Rajkot: 12-27°C, dry Kathiawadi afternoons and cool evenings. Solid window for Gandhi heritage circuit and the food trail — peak is December. |
| February | 4/5 | February at Rajkot: 14-30°C, dry and comfortable for Kathiawadi food trails. Works well — shoulder before March heat erodes street-food outings. |
| March | 3/5 | March at Rajkot: 20-36C. Kathiawadi food scene is year-round; heritage walks and Gandhi sites fine early, midday sun is unkind. |
| April | 2/5 | Hot |
| May | 1/5 | Very hot 42°C+ |
| June | 2/5 | Pre-monsoon |
| July | 2/5 | Monsoon |
| Augustviewing | 2/5 | Rains |
| September | 3/5 | September at Rajkot: 24-33C. Monsoon winding down; Kathiawadi food unaffected, Gandhi sites and heritage walks workable between showers. |
| October | 4/5 | Good — Navratri energy |
| November | 5/5 | November at Rajkot: 16–32°C, Saurashtra cool evenings. Kathiawadi food streets busiest as the dry season gets going. |
| December | 5/5 | December at Rajkot: 10–28°C, Saurashtra winter proper. Kathiawadi food streets busy into the night, mornings crisp enough for a jacket. |
