• Due to the climates of India. agriculture is normally possible throughout the year. Here temperatures are suitable throughout the year for various crops. Agriculture is possible even in the months of May and June with the help of irrigation facilities.

• Amount of monsoon rainfall is sufficient for agriculture.

• Different climates create a favourable environment for the production of various crops. The climate of Punjab and Uttar Pradesh is suitable for wheat, the climatic conditions of West Bengal for Jute and rice and the climatic conditions of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra are favorable for cotton. So, the crops of both the tropical and the temperate regions are sown in the country.

• The maximum rainfall is in the months of June, July and August, which is beneficial for early ripening of crops like jawar, bajra, maize.

• Fodder is also available due to rains which helps in cattle rearing. The country remains dry or there are no rains for a long period of the year during which the grasses dry up resulting in scarcity of fodder. That is why there are no evergreen pastures or grazing land in the country.

• Sultry hot whether is followed by widespread rains, which gives rise to many diseases. Water is stored in the pots and ponds, which become the birthplace of mosquitoes that spread diseases.

• The uncertainty of rainfall largely affects the agriculture. Animal farming is possible due to availability of grass resulting from sufficient rains.

• Climatic diversity results in variety in the forests resources, animal resources, industries, transport and human life. These are important elements of our economic life.
