Describe main charctesrestics of the hot weather season in India ?
Main charctesrestics of the hot weather season in India are:
- The hot weather season in India begins from March and continues till May. In May, the temperature rises to 45°C in the northwestern parts of the country.
- Because of high temperature, low air pressure is created in the northern parts of the country.
- One of the striking features of the hot weather season in India is the blowing of local winds known as ‘loo’. It is a hot wind which may blow even during the evenings. Direct exposure to these winds may cause fever and anxieties.
- Sometimes, northern India experiences dust storms accompanied by light rainfall during May. This brings down the temperature.
- During this time, torrential downpours are accompanied by hail in West Bengal. These storms are known as Kaal Baisakhi.
- Towards the end of the summer season, rain showers are common in Kerala and Karnataka. They help in the early ripening of mangoes and thus are sometimes also referred to as ‘mango showers’
