The climate of Aurangabad is influenced by a variety of circumstances, such as its distance from the sea and the character of the intervening country, its distribution into land and water and the direction of the mountain chains, its altitude above sea-level and the nature of its soil and of its vegetation; while from the effects of subaerial decomposition and denudation, the very form and productiveness of the land surface are to a great extent dependent on atmospheric influences. Aurangabad is not however, an isolated region having distinct climatic peculiarities, but is subordinate to the larger areas of Western India, which are governed by like meteorological conditions. At, the same time, the district may be subject to innumerable local variations of its own; but in generalising it is necessary to bring together the observations of large areas of which it is an integral portion.
