  • 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.
