Climate of India |
|
|
India has got a tropical climate but it would be very wrong to generalize the climate of India as it varies a lot from one region to another. India is a land of varied landscapes and here you will be finding everything ranging from mountains to plains or from deserts to forest areas. It is quite obvious that the climate in the plains would be much soothing than that of the mountainous regions. In hilly areas, the winter will be severe and in the deserts, days are pretty hot and nights are too cold. The subcontinent region is divided into eight climatic zones and these eight zones would be having monsoons at the same time. Otherwise, different parts of India experience monsoons at different point of time. You can actually fly from a cold mountainous region to Rajasthan deserts in a few minutes. In Rajasthan, the temperature actually rises to 45 degree Celsius or more. Thus, the climate of India is as varied as its language, people and culture.

Rajasthan experiences severely cold and dry winters and little rain throughout the year. This is why, you will find lots of acacia trees and thorny bushes in Rajasthan instead of green trees. The monsoon winds frequently pass Rajasthan and in the process pick up little moisture or dew from those thorny bushes. Rajasthan has to depend a lot on the artificial irrigation provisions as the people hardly get rain waters for the crops. Agriculture is carried out with the help pf pumps and tubewells especially in the dry areas like Bikaner, Jaisalmer and Jodhpur.
Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh have got extreme climatic conditions throughout the year. From December to January, this region is extremely cold and too hot from the end of March till June. These states experience monsoons from July to September. Otherwise, the climate of India is pretty pleasant in this region for the rest of the months. The climate of Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh is perfect for the growth of mustard flowers and sugarcane.
The summer months are intolerable in the Gangetic plain zones as we move from Gwalior to Nagpur, we will experience a rise in temperature especially from the end of March to May. Bhopal, Raipur and Patna also have got hot summers. Due to terrible heat, Bihar suffer from drought and famine conditions. Tamil Nadu on the other hand has got two monsoons in a year. The summers are quite hot in the southern parts of India but winters are pretty soothing.
