What is the climate type in India and what are its characteristics?

India is dominated by tropical monsoon climate. Climatic characteristics of tropical monsoon: high temperature throughout the year, divided into dry season and rainy season (dry season 10- May of the following year; Rainy season from June to September). India is located in the south of Asia, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and most areas are located in the tropics and subtropics. India is the largest country in South Asia, with a population of over one billion, ranking second in the world. Ganges is the mother river of India.

The climate type of India is mainly tropical monsoon climate.

Climatic characteristics of tropical monsoon;

1. The annual temperature is relatively high, with the annual average temperature above 22℃, and the Leng Yue is generally in the winter half year above 16℃.

2. The dry and wet seasons are obvious, and the precipitation is concentrated in the rainy season, with a large amount of precipitation.

The monsoon is extraordinary.

4. Tropical cyclones prevail. Synchronized with the "summer monsoon", tropical cyclones prevail from mid-May to mid-September every year.

The Indian Peninsula and Indo-China Peninsula are typical and major areas of this climate. But the seasonal start and end times between them are different:

The Indian Peninsula is usually rainy from June to September and dry from June to May. In the late dry season (April-May), the weather is extremely hot, and the highest temperature is often above 40℃. The rainy season is full of rainfall, which often causes floods.

Indochina Peninsula is usually rainy from May to 10, and dry from 1 1 to April of the following year. April or May is the hottest month, and the highest temperature is generally between 38-40℃. In rainy season, there are many convective rainfall and typhoon rainstorm, and lightning and thunder often occur, causing huge property losses. High temperature throughout the year, divided into dry season and rainy season.

India's agricultural development accounts for more than half of the cultivated land area, and the countries with the largest cultivated land area in Asia have diverse climates and different topography, which is conducive to frequent floods and droughts of various crops.

Relationship between crop distribution and natural conditions (rice, wheat, cotton, jute, tea)

Rice: it is distributed in the northeast and coastal areas of the peninsula with more precipitation.

Wheat and sugarcane: Ganges Plain in northwest India.

Cotton: Deccan Plateau in Northwest China

Jute: Ganges Delta, ranking first in the world.

Tea: Hillsides on both sides of the Yarlung Zangbo River.
