Answer 2

Answer:

Latitudinal location

• The northern parts on the other hand lie in the warm temperate zone. They receive comparatively less solar insolation.
• But summer are equally hot in north India because of hot local wind called ‘loo’. Winter are very cold due to cold waves brought by the western disturbances.

Distance from the Sea

• Coastal regions have moderate or equable or maritime climate where as interior locations are deprived of the moderating influence of the sea and experience extreme or continental climate.

The Himalayas

• Himalayas divide the Bay of Bengal branch of monsoon winds into two branches – one branch flowing along the plain regions towards north-west India and the other towards South-East Asia.

Physiography

• By the time winds reach western parts of the plains (Delhi, Haryana etc.) all the moisture in the monsoon winds in exhausted.

Upper Air Circulation

• The changes in the upper air circulation over Indian landmass is brought about by Jet streams. (Explained in detail in Indian Monsoons)        

 Tropical Cyclones and Western Disturbances

• Tropical cyclones originate in the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea and the influence large parts of the peninsular India.

• Majority of the cyclones originate in the Bay of Bengal and influence the weather conditions during the south-west monsoon season (low intensity cyclones).
