Is it hot in India?

The whole of India is hot, and most of it belongs to tropical monsoon climate, while thar desert in western India belongs to tropical desert climate. There is an obvious monsoon in summer and no obvious monsoon in winter. The climate in India is divided into rainy season (June ~ 65438+1October), dry season (March ~ May) and cool season (1 1 ~ February of the following year). In winter, due to the barrier of Himalayas, there is no cold current or cold high pressure going south to affect India.

India is located in the northern hemisphere, 8 24 ′ ~ 37 36 ′ north latitude and 68 7 ′ ~ 97 25 ′ east longitude. India is the largest country in South Asia, with an area of 2.98 million square kilometers, ranking seventh in the world.

topography

From the Himalayas to the south, it extends to the Indian Ocean, with mountains in the north, Indus-Ganges Plain in the middle and Deccan Plateau and its coastal plains on the east and west sides in the south. The plains account for about 40% of the total area, the mountains only account for 25%, and the plateaus account for 1/3, but the elevation of most of these mountains and plateaus does not exceed 1000 meters. The terrain is low and gentle, which has an absolute advantage in the whole country. Not only is the transportation convenient, but also with the cooperation of tropical monsoon climate and fertile soil conditions such as alluvial soil and tropical black soil suitable for agricultural production, most of the land can be used for agriculture, and crops can grow all year round, which has unique natural conditions.

High temperature weather

The high temperature is not only unbearable, but also painful for wild animals and livestock. The continuous high temperature has caused a large number of deaths of bats, crows and peacocks living in the forest area of Uttar Pradesh, India's largest state. In addition, after the drought in 2009, Indian farmers waiting to harvest wheat have long been impatient. However, the continuous high temperature may lead to the reduction of wheat production. The director of the Department of Agriculture of Uttar Pradesh said that the wheat production in Uttar Pradesh may be reduced by 35% compared with previous years, because the high temperature weather from March to April affected the growth of wheat.

Since 2065438+March 2005, the temperature in most parts of India has been rising continuously. Since May, the temperature in most cities in China has remained above 42 degrees Celsius, setting a record in Indian meteorological history. Indian meteorologists pointed out that monsoon rains usually begin in early June, but there is still a long time before the rainy season, so it is impossible to expect to lower the temperature through rainfall. Officials in Gujarat say that hospitals in the state will receive about 300 patients with food poisoning and heatstroke in one day, and the figure of "300" is only a conservative estimate, not including patients in remote rural areas.
