Himalayas bifurcates the streams into two branches, of which southern branch enters North India and gives much needed winter rainfall over the North-west region. Thus, had there been no Himalaya the winter climate in North India would have been very cold and dry and there were no rainfall in winter.

In winter, it blocks the cold polar air blowing southwards from Central Asia from entering India, thus keeping India 3° to 8°C warmer than the regions of similar cold latitudes in Asia. Had there been no Himalayas, extremely cold and dry winds would have entered India.

There would have been lack of snow fed rivers in the Northern India as most of them arise due to the melting of snow in Himalayas. There would be shortage of water in the Northern India. There will be a change in the rate of tourism. There would have been a great different in the climate.

REASON: The winter rainfall in India occurs due to North East monsoon. Hint: The northwestern part of India receives rainfalls in winter from the disturbances of the Mediterranean Sea. The north east monsoon winds bring post monsoon rains in states like Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.

During retreat of monsoon these phenomenon change n high pressure being created on plains, thus these south west monsoons winds start retreating in the month of september, thus rainfall in India is concentrated in the few months of july to september.

8. Which part of India does experience the highest diurnal range of temperature and Why ? Ans. The Thar desert region of Rajasthan experiences the highest diurnal range of temperature because it is in the interior part where the contrasts in temperature are very high.

The bulk of rainfall in India is received during the four months of the rainy season i.e. June, July, August and September. This is the period of South-West Monsoons blowing from sea to land. These sea to land Winds are the rain giver, as these moisture-laden winds are on-shore winds.

Answer: Rainfall decreases from the east to the west in Northern India because there is a decrease in the moisture of the winds. Consequently, states like Gujarat and Rajasthan in western India get very little rainfall.

The rainfall decreases from east to west in Northern India because the Bay of Bengal branch of Southwest monsoon moves towards north east carrying more moisture and they give heavy rainfall in this region. Hence, the bulk of rainfall in India is concentrated over a few months that is mainly from June to September.

A monsoon is a seasonal reversal in wind patterns over a region. The word “monsoon” comes from the Arabic word mausim, meaning “season.” The seasonal wind shift is usually accompanied by a dramatic change in precipitation.

What is October heat? The term October heat refers to the post-monsoon, pre-winter rise in temperatures across the nation. During the southwest monsoon, most parts of India cool down due to precipitation (rainfall), increased moisture, cloud cover, and sea winds in coastal areas.

Most major American cities enjoy mild weather during October. Daytime high temperatures are typically 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit (16 to 27 degrees Celsius) and the nights always average above freezing. Average October temperatures for US cities.

October heat is a fact of Mumbai’s annual rhythm. The Met office explained the unusual heat as the result of southwest monsoon weakening/withdrawing or the northeast monsoon not setting in on schedule, and so on.
