1) LATITUDE - INDIA IS DIVIDED BY THE TROPIC OF CANCER IN TO THE TROPICAL NORTH AND SUBTROPICAL SOUTH.Due to the curvature of the Earth, the amount of solar energy received is different according to the latitudes.
2) ALTITUDE - As we go higher, temperature generally decreases (From equator to poles) as the atmosphere becomes less dense.
3) PRESSURE AND WIND SYSTEM - They depend on the latitude and altitude of a place, thus influencing the rainfall patterns.
4) DISTANCE FROM SEA - The sea has a moderating effect on the climate. As distance from sea increases, this effect decreases and places experience extreme weather conditions (continentality).

Hello Mate! How are you?
- Latitude : The Ray's of the sun fall directly on the equator and thus the areas near the equator undergo torrid climate. And the area near the poles undergo frigid climate as Sun's slanting Ray's fall on them.
- Altitude: The height. The Himalayas are more that a thousand metres above sea level. There, atmospheric pressure is low and the temperature is also low. As for the coastal areas, that are about only 20-30m above sea level, temperature is cool.
- Distance from the sea: The sea effects the climate of the place. The sea breeze and the land breeze contribute in making the climate of coastal areas very cool even in summers.
Thanks
