Describe the special features of cold weather and hot weather
Answers
India experiences the hot weather season from the month of March to May.
During this season, there is apparent Northward movement of the sun.
The hot weather season has the following characteristics
. (i) There is overall increase in temperature e.g. the temperature of Northern plains is between 42 - 45°C and in the Deccan plateau between 35 — 38°C.
(ii) An elongated low-pressure area develops from Thar Desert (in North-West) to Patna and Chotanagpur plateau (in East and South-East) towards the end of May. From this low-pressure belt, the circulation of air begins.
(iii) In the Northern and North-Westem plain, there is occurrence of ‘Loo’- strong, hot, dry wind.
(iv) In the Northern India, there is common occurrence of dust storm in May.
(v) There is also occurrence of localised thunderstorms associated with violent winds, torrential downpours, often accompanied by hailstorm at some places (e.g. West Bengal).
COLD WEATHER
(i) December and January are the coldest months in north India.
(ii) Temperature decreases from South to north.
(iii) Northeast trade winds blow over most of the country.
(iv)Due to westerly depression, the North and North western parts of the country receive light rainfall in winter season.
Answer:
hi there
this is your answer to the question
Explanation:
THE COLD WEATHER SEASON (WINTER)
1. The cold weather season begins from mid- November in northern India and stays
till February.
2. December and January are the coldest months in the northern part of India.
3. The temperature decreases from south to the north.
4. Days are warm and nights are cold.
5. Frost is common in the north and the higher slopes of Himalayas experience
snowfall.
6. The northeast trade winds blow from land to sea and hence, for most part of the
country, it is a dry season.
7. Some amount of rainfall occurs on the Tamil Nadu coast from these winds as,
here they blow from sea to land.
8. The weather is normally marked by clear sky, low temperatures and low humidity
and feeble variable winds.
9. A characteristic feature of the cold weather season over the northern plains is a
the inflow of cyclonic disturbances from the west and the northwest.
10.They cause the much- needed winter rains over the plains and snowfall in the
mountains.
11.Total amount of winter rainfall locally known as ‘mahawat’ is small; they are of . immense importance for the cultivation of ‘rabi’ crops.
12. The peninsular region does not have well- defined cold season.
THE HOT WEATHER SEASON (SUMMER)
1. From March to May, it is hot weather season in India.
2. The influence of shifting of the heat belt can be seen clearly from temperature
recordings taken during March- May at different latitudes.
3. In peninsular India, temperature remain lower due to the moderating influence of the
oceans.
4.The summer months experience rising temperature and falling air pressure in the
northern part of the country.
5. Towards the end of May, an elongated low pressure area develops in the region
extending from the Thar Desert in the northwest to Patna and Chotanagpur plateau
and southeast.
6. The striking feature of the hot weather season is the ‘loo’. These are strong, gusty, hot, dry winds blowing during the day over the north and northwestern India.
7. Dust storms are very common during the month of May in northern India. These
storms bring temporary relief as they lower the temperature and may bring light rain
and cool breeze.
8. In West Bengal, these storms are known as ‘Kaal Baisakhi’.
9. Towards the close of the summer season, pre- monsoon showers are common
especially, in Kerala and Karnataka.
