What to Focus On

  • Weather is for a small area and changes frequently.
  • Climate is for a large area and is measured over a long period of time.
  • Seasons are formed by weather conditions that last for a longer duration.

  • Location affects temperature.
  • The Tropic of Cancer at 23½° passes through central India.
  • Distance from the sea creates coastal and inland climatic differences.

  • Monsoon means seasonal reversal of wind direction.
  • The word monsoon is derived from Mausim, meaning season.
  • Low pressure over land and high pressure over sea drive the monsoon.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Weather and climate mean the same thing.

Monsoon means heavy rain only.
