Wishing a Calcutta-n in Arizona.

Arizona, half the way round the globe would be the pin point location whose weather is quite different from the tropical climate experienced here in Calcutta. Hence, if I decide to have a step into the land would require me to have a thorough check up for the weather and it's difference. After all, weather and climate is the first thing that an individual eagerly notices out of his/her's window-sill. At present, I am in Calcutta (presently called Kolkata) in India.
While Calcutta is always wet and humid, Arizona is amongst some of the rockiest states amongst all the states present within the US union. Hence, the climate there would be comparatively dry compared to Calcutta.

1) Calcutta is humid through out the year, with the maximum dis-comfort level surmounting during the months of April to September every year. In comparison, Phoenix, a town in AZ, USA has it's moderately tough times between July to September.

2) Calcutta, owing to a distance of 130 kms from the sea shore, has a regular annual rainfall which may reach an average peak of 325-330 mm. The rainy seasons, popularly known as the Monsoons in India spans from June to September. Such an annual "celebration" of nature fails to meet it's mark in the dry lands of AZ. A Phoenix weather report records an annual peak of 25mm during July-August.

3) The heat factor as well as dry conditions in the AZ makes the inhabitants prone to live with frequent supplements of necessary fluid for the body. Rx in medical terms would be salted water along with lime juice. The Vitamin supplements will ensure proper working of the enzymes in temperatures that may hover around 40-48 degrees Celsius. The data has correllation with Phoenix, AZ. A native from Calcutta will surely find it homely as in Calcutta too, the temperature hovers around the 38-42 mark throughout the summer seasons.

Since we know, amongst the seven natural wonders, arizona holds US's treasure in the form of the Grand Canyon and the wild rocky country-scape, a visit to the state would necessarily mean an extra precaution of getting the basics right. Comapring to places having climates like that in Calcutta, it will be a fair deal to visit the state in the months of Nov to Feb, as the temperate plummet to the 38 degree Celsius mark.

The datas can be corellated with BBC weather Report.
