What to Focus On

  • Latitude: Tropic of Cancer divides India into tropical south and subtropical north
  • Distance from sea: Coastal areas have moderate climate, interior areas have extreme climate
  • Altitude: Temperature decreases with height, hill stations remain cooler

  • Monsoon means seasonal reversal of wind direction
  • Summer heating creates low pressure over North Indian plains
  • Indian Ocean remains cooler, creating high pressure area

  • Four seasons: Cold weather, Hot weather, Advancing monsoon, Retreating monsoon
  • Winter: Cold, dry conditions with northeast trade winds
  • Summer: High temperatures, Loo winds, dust storms, and thunderstorms

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Monsoon winds always bring rain wherever they blow

Higher altitude always means lower temperature in all seasons

Trade winds and monsoon winds are the same thing
