What is the climate type of the Indian Peninsula?

The Indian subcontinent has a monsoon climate, which is completely opposite to the Mediterranean climate.

The seasons are not obvious, there are roughly two seasons. Tropical monsoon blows in the south of South Asia, while temperate monsoon blows in the north. It's humid and muggy in summer and dry and cool in winter. Suitable for planting jute, tea, rice and various vegetables.

There is an obvious monsoon in summer and no obvious monsoon in winter. The climate in the northern highlands continues to snow in winter, and the climate in southern India is usually hotter and wetter than that in northern India.

The climate in India is divided into rainy season (June–65438+1October), dry season (March–May) and cool season (11–February). Winter is affected by Himalayan barrier, and there is no cold current or cold high pressure going south to affect India. The southern peninsula extends to the Indian Ocean. Affected by tropical air mass, the annual average temperature is 3 ~ 8℃ higher than that of other areas at the same latitude. Except in high mountain areas, the annual average temperature is between 24℃ and 27℃, and the lowest temperature in 3/4 areas of the country is above 0℃.
