Question

The summer season in Karnataka is from _____ to _____.
A) March to May
B) March to July
C) April to June
D) February to April

Answer 1

Hint: Karnataka is an Indian state located along the west coast of the country. The months of July, August and September in Karnataka experience moderate temperatures and very high humidity.

Complete answer:
The state of Karnataka experiences four main seasons, which are:
- The winter season is through January and February.
- The summer season starts in March and ends in the month of May.
- The monsoon season, starts in June and ends around the month of September.
- And the post-monsoon season which occurs from October to December.

The summer months from March to May are very hot and dry and tend to be very uncomfortable. The dryness reduces from the month of June and humidity begins to accumulate in the atmosphere. Thus, the next three months of the monsoon season have a very comfortable temperature, but the humidity keeps getting denser and denser.

According to the geography, Karnataka can be divided into three zones;
- Coastal Karnataka, which receives the heaviest rainfalls, is much heavier than the rest of the state.
- North Interior Karnataka, which consists of eleven districts, namely Belgaum, Bidar, Bijapur, Bagalkot, Gadag, Dharwad, Gulbarga, Koppal, Bellary and Raichur. This region receives the least amount of rainfall in entire Karnataka.
- South Interior Karnataka, which includes the rest of the state of Karnataka and receives moderate rainfall.

Thus, the correct answer is Option (A) The summer season in Karnataka is from March to May.

Note: The highest temperature ever recorded in Karnataka was in the district of Raichur. It was 45.6°C and was recorded on 23rd May 1928. The lowest temperature ever recorded in Karnataka was in the hilltop city of Bidar. It was 2.8°C and was recorded on 16th December 1918.
