Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Winter rainfall in Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and western Uttar Pradesh occurs mainly due to
- Northeast monsoon crossing over the Bay of Bengal
- Arrival of weak temperate cyclones from the Mediterranean Sea
Select the correct answer code:
Correct
Solution: b)
Winter monsoons do not cause rainfall as they move from land to the sea. It is because firstly, they have little humidity; and secondly, due to anti cyclonic circulation on land, the possibility of rainfall from them reduces. So, most parts of India do not have rainfall in the winter season. However, there are some exceptions to it:
- In northwestern India, some weak temperate cyclones from the Mediterranean Sea cause rainfall in Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and western Uttar Pradesh.
- During October and November, northeast monsoon while crossing over the Bay of Bengal, picks up moisture and causes torrential rainfall over the Tamil Nadu coast, southern Andhra Pradesh, southeast Karnataka and southeast Kerala.
