What are the climate types and characteristics of India?

The main climate type in India is tropical monsoon climate; It is characterized by high temperature all year round, which is obvious in rainy season and dry season.

It is hot all the year round in India, with the annual average temperature above 22℃, and the highest in Leng Yue is generally above 16℃. Usually June-September is affected by the southwest monsoon from the Indian Ocean, which is the rainy season; 10—— May of the following year is affected by the northeast monsoon from Eurasia, which is a dry season.

Tropical cyclones prevail. Synchronized with the "summer monsoon", tropical cyclones prevail from mid-May to mid-September every year. The Indian peninsula is usually rainy from June to September, and the dry season is 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.

Causes of Indian tropical monsoon climate;

In the dry season, influenced by the northeast trade wind and the northeast monsoon blowing from the inland of Asia to the ocean and deflecting at low latitudes, the positions of the pressure belt and the wind belt move southward.

In the rainy season, due to the northward movement of the pressure belt and wind belt in summer, this area is affected by the southwest monsoon caused by the deflection of the southeast trade wind across the equator and the monsoon blowing from the ocean to the land caused by the difference in thermal properties between land and sea.

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.
