India is not as cold in winter as Tibet. Why?
Answers
Answer:
This season usually begins in late-November in northern India. Lowest temperatures are observed in Punjab and Rajasthan. December and January are the coldest months in the northern plain. The night temperature may be quite low, sometimes going below freezing point in Punjab and Rajasthan.
There are three main reasons for the excessive cold in north India during this season:
States like Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan being far away from the moderating influence of sea experience continental climate.
The snowfall in the nearby Himalayan ranges creates cold wave situation; and
Around February, the cold winds coming from the Caspian Sea and Turkmenistan bring cold wave along with frost and fog over the northwestern parts of India
Explanation:
The Tibetan Plateau is the coldest area. Which is in the same latitude because of its altitude and the low air pressure the altitude brings.
The average altitude is above sea level. Southern part of India do not experience very cold winters. This is because south India is surrounded by water on three sides.
The temperature in winter of north India is 10 °-15° centigrade where as that of south India is 24°-25°centigrade.
