Hats and me don't mix either. I have a rather large head and it is difficult to find hats that fit. I also discovered that I look really stupid in baseball caps.
As for the temperature range, I've asked my friend what India in December is like. I know that when it gets hot it can get over 40 degrees Celsius. I'll let you know when (if) I get an answer.
Oh, I'd appreciate that. The most common info I've had is between a low of 30 Ferrenheit and a high of about 50/55. But I've also heard between 20 and 80, between 40 and 70, or no warmer than 45. All of these make a HUGE difference.
It turns out that it really depends upon where you are going to be. My friend says that lows in Delhi can be 2-5 degrees Celsius whereas in Chennai (Madras) lows are 20-22 degrees Celsius.
Other than a few days in Delhi at the begining and end of the trip, we're going to be in Bihar, which is a northern state, just below the Nepal border. (It's east of Uttar Pradesh, in what was once Bengal.)
Thanks! That's the range I seem to get more than any other, so that's what I'm going to go by.
The one thing that seems weird to me is the articles I've found on "Death Toll Rising Due to Cold Weather" - The very lowest of the "bitterly cold" temperatures listed was 0.7 degrees Cel. Most were 4 to 9 degrees Cel. That's not even freezing! And it doesn't snow there.
How do dozens and even hundreds of people die in 39 degree (Ferr. sorry, gotta translate it to the format I'm used to) weather?
You're from Canada - you KNOW cold! That ain't that cold!
That's true. I wasn't thinking about that fact that there are MILLIONS of people in that area, most of them below the poverty level. And, since the majority of the year is tropical monsoon/sub-tropic weather, their clothing/housing is probably situated around that. Sad.
