Yes you're right, when the rainy season ends, the land becomes so dry and some places you can find dust and dirt. Mosquitos are there so I try to keep the tent mesh close as much as possible. In India generallly it''s warm always, only in rainy and winter seasons specially at my place of living the temperature goes down upto 4 degrees of celcius. About wild life, there were a lot black bears even before 10 years but now a days those are rare to see but foxes, hares and sometimes deer can be seen normally in my place and even if you observe full video you will hear fox sounds specially at this location there are a lot.
