Describe various sources of rainfall other than monsoon that take place in India.

In India apart from monsoons, there are many other sources of rainfall. These include :

  1. Tropical cyclones bring heavy rainfall in Eastern and South-East coast of India.
  2. Western disturbances coming from the West cause rainfall in North and North-West of India during winter.
  3. In the interior landmass, local water bodies create an impact on the pressure and wind system through evaporation causing rains to occur.
  4. Formation of clouds and dust storms reduce the temperature and bring cool breeze. This cause light rainfall in Northern India.
