The climate of Kohora is same with the world heritage site Kaziranga National Park which experiences three seasons: summer, monsoon, and winter. The winter season, between November and February, is mild and dry, with a mean high of 25°C (77°F) and low of 5°C (41°F).[citation needed] During this season, beels and nullahs (water channels) dry up.:p.06 The summer season between March and May is hot, with temperatures reaching a high of 37°C (99°F).[citation needed] During this season, animals usually are found near water bodies.:p.06 The rainy monsoon season lasts from June to September, and is responsible for most of Kaziranga's average annual rainfall of 2,220mm (87in).[citation needed] During the peak monsoon months of July and August, three-fourths of the western region of the town is submerged, due to the rising water level of the Brahmaputra. The flooding causes, at the north side of the town, most animals to migrate to elevated and forested regions outside the southern border of the national park, such as the Mikir hills. A total of 540 animals, including 13 rhinos and mostly hog deer perished in unprecedented devastating floods of 2012.[1][2] Occasional dry spells also create problems, such as food shortages for the wildlife in the park.[3]
