Source: The cold weather Season (Winter)

The winter season begins from mid-November and stays till February; in northern India.

December and January are the coldest months in the northern part of India. The temperature

ranges between 10°-15°C in the northern plains, while it ranges between 24°-25°C in Chennai. The

northeast trade winds prevail over the country in this season. As these winds blow from land to

sea, most parts of the country experience a dry season. The weather is usually marked by clear

sky, low temperatures and low humidity and feeble variable winds. The inflow of the cyclonic

disturbances from the west and the northwest is a characteristic feature of the cold weather over

the northern plains. These low-pressure systems originate over the Mediterranean Sea and

Western Asia and move into India. They cause winter rains over the plains and snowfall in the

mountains. The winter rainfall is in small amount but is very important for the rabi crop. This

rainfall is locally known as mahawat. The peninsular region does not get a well-defined winter

because of the moderating influence of the sea.

The western coast and northeastern India receive over 400 cm of rainfall annually. The annual

rainfall is less than 60 cm in western Rajasthan and adjoining parts of Gujarat, Haryana and

Punjab. Rainfall is also low in the interior of the Deccan Plateau and east of the Sahyadris. The

area around Leh also gets low rainfall. The rest of the country gets moderate rainfall. Snowfall is

restricted to the Himalayan region.

Although there are wide variations in weather patterns across India, the monsoon brings some

unifying influences on India. The Indian landscape, its flora and fauna, etc. are highly influenced

by the monsoon.

The entire agricultural calendar in India is governed by the monsoon. Most of the festivals in India

are related to agricultural cycle. These festivals may be known by different names in different

parts of the country, but their celebration is decided by the monsoon. It is also said that the river

valleys which carry the rainwater also unite as a single river valley unit. Due to these reasons,

monsoon is often a great unifying factor in India.
