What is the climate?
|
Considering the size of the country, the climate can widely vary, from the dry deserts of Rajasthan to the wet summits of Assam and the snowy collars of Ladakh. To summarise, India benefits from three seasons: a warm, a wet and a cool one. Heat begins to rise in the plains of the North in February and becomes unbearable in April - May. The first signs of the monsoon appear towards the end of May, bringing a high level of humidity, and short and violent thunderstorms. The monsoon settles down at the beginning of June in the South, then head to the North, then cover the whole country in the first days of July, but never bringing any coolness though. It ends up in October and the North then becomes cooler, and there are even some cold nights in December - January. The extreme South remains warm all year long, but temperatures remain very bearable. The most important monsoon comes from the Southwest; the Southeast coast gets affected by the monsoon of Northeast, short and very wet, from the middle of October until the end of December.
