Kanpur receives more rainfall than Jodhpur​

Lying on lee-ward side of the Aravalli hills Jodhpur receives less rainfall than Kanpur

Explanation:

  • The main source of rainfall in Kanpur and Jodhpur are the monsoon winds.
  • When the South-west moisture laden monsoon winds blow from the Bay of Bengal to the  North Western part of India they strike the Aravalli Hills.
  • Kanpur happens to lie on the wind ward side of the range.
  • As a result it receives a good amount of the monsoon shower.
  • Jodhpur on the other hand, even after lying almost at the same latitude as Kanpur, lies in the lee ward side of the hills.
  • This makes it fall under the rain shadow area.
  • The rain shadow area always receives less rainfall.
  • As a result Kanpur receives more rainfall than Jodhpur​.
