write down the reason for the low temperature in India in month of December and January
Answers
By the end of December, the sun shines vertically over the Tropic of Capricorn in the southern hemisphere. So, India which is located in the northern hemisphere experiences low temperatures. January and February are the coldest months over most parts of the country.
In winter months, the weather conditions over India are generally influenced by the distribution of pressure in the Central and Western Asia. A high-pressure centre in the region lying to the north of the Himalayas develops during winter. This centre of high pressure gives rise to the flow of air from the north towards the Indian subcontinent, south of the mountain range.
Reason for the low temperature in India in month of December and January:
- Geographically, India is located in the 'northern hemisphere'.
- So, during the final days of December, the sun is situated vertically over the Tropic of Capricorn on the southern hemisphere and the rays of the sun are not that strongly directed over India which lies in the Northern Hemisphere.
- In the north part generally, they experience low temperatures.
- This is the reason India experiences lower temperatures during December and January.
- Also, the north of India lays the Himalayas. During winter, the cold airflow from the Himalayas moves towards the south to the Indian Subcontinent resulting in colder temperature.
