Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Which of the following contribute to Monsoon breaks in India?
- When rain-bearing storms are not very frequent along the monsoon trough
- Over the west coast, when winds blow parallel to the coast.
- Tropical depressions during the south-west monsoon period
Select the correct answer code:
Correct
Solution: a)
During the south-west monsoon period after having rains for a few days, if rain fails to occur for one or more weeks, it is known as break in the monsoon. These dry spells are quite common during the rainy season. These breaks in the different regions are due to different reasons:
(i) In northern India rains are likely to fail if the rain-bearing storms are not very frequent along the monsoon trough or the ITCZ over this region.
(ii) Over the west coast the dry spells are associated with days when winds blow parallel to the coast.
Inflow of western cyclones generally known as disturbances during the winter season and tropical depressions during the south-west monsoon period into India, creating weather conditions favourable to rainfall.
