Climate Factors
- Proximity to the ocean affects the climate of a place, making coastal areas cooler and wetter than inland areas.
- Latitude and altitude influence the climate of a region, with Karachi experiencing a Monsoon season during June and July due to its low latitude and proximity to the Arabian Sea.
- Altitude is a factor that can affect the amount of rainfall in an area, with mountains receiving more rainfall than low-lying areas due to the orographic effect, where air is forced to rise, cool, and condense, resulting in precipitation.
- The combination of latitude, altitude, and distance from the ocean contributes to the different weather patterns in Karachi, Lahore, and Peshawar, with each city having its unique climate characteristics.
