What to Focus On

  • Climate depends on temperature, rainfall, pressure, and winds.
  • India extends from 8°N to 37°N and covers about 3214 km from north to south.
  • The Tropic of Cancer divides India into north temperate and south tropical halves.

  • Latitude divides India into contrasting climatic regions.
  • Coastal areas have equable climate; interior areas have extreme climate.
  • The Himalayas block cold winds and force monsoon winds to shed moisture.

  • Monsoon means season and refers to seasonal wind reversal.
  • India has four seasons based on monsoon variation.
  • The southwest monsoon lasts from June to September.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The southwest monsoon and the northeast monsoon are the same season.

Mawsynram and Cherrapunji are the same place for highest rainfall.

Shillong gets the heaviest rainfall in Meghalaya because it is close to Mawsynram and Cherrapunji.

Memory Tips
