The climate of a country depends upon several factors such as location, size, altitude, wind, distance from the sea, the alignment of hills and mountains etc. The influence of these factors on the climate of India is briefly described below:
1. Location: The Tropic of Cancer passed through the middle of India and the country north of the line lies in the temperate belt and south of it in the tropical belt. However, the northern wall of the Himalayas prevents the influx of cold north wind. As a result, temperature does not fall appreciably over North Indian Plains even in winter. India is generally treated as a hot country.
2.Size: India is a vast country and it is natural that South India lying closer to the equator is warmer than the northern counterpart especially in winter.
3. Altitude: Although average temperature remains generally high throughout India, owing to altitudinal effect the Himalayas and other high mountains have lower temperatures even in summer.
4. Distance from the sea: The oceanic winds have a moderating effect on temperature and the coastal places experience lower range of temperature, both diurnal and seasonal in comparison to places of interior or continental location away from the oceanic influence.
