Question

● Describe the climate of Sikkim and its effects on the people.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sikkim's climate ranges from sub-tropical in the south to tundra in the north. Most of the inhabited regions of Sikkim experience a temperate climate, with temperatures seldom exceeding 28 °C (82 °F) in summer. The average annual temperature for most of Sikkim is around 18 °C (64 °F).

he people of Sikkim clearly have considerable awareness of changes in climate parameters. There  is also evidence that people have already started to adapt to changes in climate. Nevertheless, considering  the potential importance of local knowledge, more systematic work with good sample sizes and rigorous  ethnographic approaches is needed to document the wealth of such knowledge.
