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.
