Study Notes
Factors Contributing to Indian Climate Variability
- The variability of the Indian climate is largely contributed by the country's latitudinal extent, which spans from 8°4’N to 37°6’N latitude.
Impact of the Western Ghats on Indian Climate
- The Western Ghats mountain range blocks the Southwest Monsoon winds, resulting in heavy rainfall on the western side of the range and creating a rain shadow effect on the eastern side.
Primary Reason for Monsoon Climate in India
- The primary reason for the monsoon climate in India is the temperature difference between the land and the sea, which drives the movement of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and creates the Southwest Monsoon winds.
