They are temperature, wind, humidity, atmospheric pressure, precipitation, and cloudiness. Temperature refers to the relative measurement of heat and cold. From all the above options provided, Sunlight is not an element of weather as it is independent of the atmosphere.

Another case in point is precipitation. While precipitation is mostly in the form of snowfall in the upper parts of the Himalayas, it rains over the rest of the country. The annual precipitation varies from over 400 cm in Meghalaya to less than 10 cm in Ladakh and western Rajasthan.

• (vii) Two stations influenced by both branches of the south-west monsoons. Answer: Delhi and Nagpur.
• (viii) Two stations influenced by retreating and north-east monsoons. Answer: Thiruvanantpuram and Chennai.
• (ix) Two stations receiving winter showers from the western disturbances. Answer: Delhi and Kolkata.

• (i) Two rainiest stations: Shillong and Mumbai.
• (ii) Two driest stations: Leh and Jodhpur.
• (iii) Two stations with most equable climate: Bangalore and Tiruvanantapuram.
• (iv) Two stations with most extreme climate: Leh and Jodhpur.

Station B has an equable climate because it has low range of temperature.

Which of the following place is influenced by retreating or eastern monsoon ? option is. 1. Amritsar.

What is a Retreating Monsoon? During the months of October-November, the south-west monsoon winds become weaker and start to retreat from the skies of North India. This phase of the monsoon is known as the retreating monsoon.

As air rises near the equator and then flows poleward, it leaves an area of fewer air molecules at the equator. Water vapor condenses as air rises and cools in the ITCZ, forming clouds and falling as rain. The ITCZ can be seen from space as a band of clouds around the planet. This is where monsoon rainfall occurs.

Monsoon, a major wind system that seasonally reverses its direction—such as one that blows for approximately six months from the northeast and six months from the southwest. The most prominent monsoons occur in South Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Pacific coast of Central America.

Monsoons always blow from cold to warm regions. The summer monsoon and the winter monsoon determine the climate for most of India and Southeast Asia. The summer monsoon is associated with heavy rainfall.

Lau: A monsoon is a very special kind of climate system. It is classified in terms of a prevailing strong winds that reverse distinctly as the season. And that surrounding ocean provides the moisture, which is then driving the precipitation that constitutes what we think of as monsoon.

A monsoon is a seasonal wind which lasts for several months. The word was first used in English for the seasonal rains in the Indian subcontinent. These rains blow in from the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea in the southwest bringing heavy rainfall to the area.

Monsoon is the term for the wind that carries heavy rains to southern Asia, and the rains themselves. During a monsoon, people wait indoors for it to stop. Although people in other parts of the world sometimes describe heavy rainfall as a monsoon, the real thing only occurs in Asia.

The word “monsoon” comes from the Arabic word mausim, meaning “season.” The seasonal wind shift is usually accompanied by a dramatic change in precipitation. The best known example of a monsoon occurs over the Indian subcontinent. In summer, the sun warms the land and the air above it.
