Question

Which part of India does not experience very cold winters?

Answer 1

Hint: It occupies 19.31 percent of the land in India. With two mountain ranges - the Western and Eastern Ghats, bordering the plateau heartland - the geography of the region is complex. In this section, the fertility rate is 1.9, the lowest of all regions in India.

Complete Answer:
There are no very cold winters in the southern portion of India. This is because the three sides of South India are surrounded by water. This allows a moderating effect which during winter, maintains normal temperatures. The temperature in North India in winter is 10 -15 ° centigrade where it is 24 °-25 ° centigrade as in South India.

The area has a tropical climate and for rainfall it relies on monsoons. With a minimum mean temperature of 18 °C, it has a non-arid atmosphere. The tropical monsoon climate, characterised by moderate to high temperatures throughout the year and seasonal heavy rainfall over 2,000 mm per year is the most humid. This area is also influenced by the tropical climate in a strip of south-western lowlands bordering the Malabar Coast, the Western Ghats & Lakshadweep Islands, and Andaman & Nicobar.

Except for a semi-arid rain shadow east of the Western Ghats, the tropical wet & dry climate, drier than areas with a tropical monsoon climate, prevails over most of the inland peninsular region. Winter and early summer are long and dry periods with average temperatures above 18 ° C, summer is extremely hot with temperatures above 50 ° C in low-lying areas, and the rainy season lasts from June to September with an average annual rainfall of 750 to 1,500 mm across the country. Most precipitation in India occurs in Tamil Nadu once the dry northeast monsoon starts in September, leaving other states comparatively dry.

Note: Due to the shape of the land, the Coromandel coast does not receive a lot of rainfall from the southwest monsoon. In South India, there is a wide range of plants and animals, resulting from its diverse climates and geography. Tropical cyclones throughout the North Indian Ocean occur in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea during the year, bringing damaging winds and heavy rainfall.
