How Ahmedabad's Climate Affects Furniture
The dry heat (May temperatures reach 43–45°C) is hard on leather — it desiccates the leather surface without humidity to buffer the moisture loss. Condition full-grain leather in Ahmedabad twice yearly: once in April (before peak summer) and once in October (after monsoon). Synthetic fabrics and microfibre perform very well in Ahmedabad's low humidity baseline. Bonded leather — which suffers most from humidity cycling — actually performs adequately in Ahmedabad's dry winter but still fails in summer heat. Full-grain leather remains the best choice overall.
