The Climate of India is affecting by the following geographical factors :
1) MANSOON WINDS :- India's Climate is controlled by monsoon winds . In summer , monsoon are ON SHORE WINDS . These winds give most of rainfall to the country . In winter , the monsoon winds blow from land to sea as N.E. Monsoons . These are dry winds.
2) EXTENT OF THE COUNTRY :- India is a vast country . The northern part lies in the temperate region and experience hot summers and cool winters . The southern part lies nearer the equator and has hot season throughout the year.
3) LOCATION OF THE HIMALAYAS :- The Himalayas act as a Climatic barrier . This mountain wall protects India from the cold winds of Central Asia in winter . The Himalayas check the on-shore S.W. Monsoons and force these to give rainfall .
4) THE INDIAN OCEAN :- India lies at the head of the Indian Ocean . S.W. Monsoons originate from this Ocean in summer and give rainfall over most of the country . Cyclones also originate over this Ocean .
5) THE WESTERN DISTURBANCES :- The western disturbances ( cyclones ) originate from the Mediterranean sea and enter India in winter . These provides rainfall in N.W. parts of In in winter .
6) DISTANCE FROM THE SEA :- The coastal areas experience Maritime Climate . These areas have equable Climate . But the areas in the interior experience extreme or continental type of Climate such as N.W. India .
7) RELIEF OF THE LAND :- Relief influences the distribution of temperature and rainfall in India . Mountainous areas have low temperatures . The windward slopes such as Western Ghats receive heavy rainfall while the leeward slopes ( Deccan plateau ) lies in the Rain-Shadow , and are dry .
