Explanation:
The Climate in the Thar desert is like any other desert. Hot in the day and cool at night. The summer days are really hot and the nights are cool but the winter days are warm and the nights are cold. In the summer there is little to no rain. (as seen in the chart) From the heat there are many dried up rivers. Sometimes it doesn't rain for years and they have droughts. The Thar Desert gets most of its rain in December and January. This desert has no rain in June, July and August. The hottest seasons are June and July. The coolest seasons are January and December.
Villages in the desert region generally grow up around oases because of the following reasons: Oases were found only in particular places of deserts, where there is an underground water source beneath the surface. The water gets accumulated below the sand, so it becomes naturally fertile for the flora and fauna

5.Since the weather in Rajasthan is very hot and receives very less rainfall, the houses have thick walls and flat roofs. This is because these thick walls prevent the heat from entering into the houses while the flat roofs help to retain the little water that has been collected during rainfall.
