Rayat Shikshan Sansthas Rajarshi Chh. Shahu College, Kolhapur Competitive Examination Centre Sub : Geography Topic : Indian Climate Presented By : Dr. B. B. Ghurake M.A./M.Sc.(Geog), UGC-NET, C.B.N.R.M., PGDSEIP., Ph.D.
India : Size & Location India, the 2nd largest populous country in the world after China. Total geographical area of 32,87,263 sq.km. which represents about 2.4 % of the earth s total land area. India, the 7th largest country in the world, after Russia(1), Canada(2), China(3), USA(4), Brazil(5) & Australia(6). "There is no substitute for the Hard Work".- Prof. B.B. Ghurake
Contin. Vast area & huge population represents Physical and Cultural diversity. India lies in the north-eastern hemisphere between 8 4 28 to 37 6 53 North Latitude & 68 7 33 to 97 25 47 East Longitude. The tropic of Cancer passed through the middle of the country. "There is no substitute for the Hard Work".- Prof. B.B. Ghurake
Contin. North to South = 3214 km (J&K to Kanyakumari.) West to East = 2933 km (Gujarat to Arunachal) Land Frontier = 15,200 km Coast Line = 7516 km (Including Island) Physical Divisions of India: 1) The Himalayan Mountain 2) The Great Plain of the North India 3) The Peninsular Plateau 4) The Coastal Plains 5) The Island "There is no substitute for the Hard Work".- Prof. B.B. Ghurake
"There is no substitute for the Hard Work".- Prof. B.B. Ghurake
Monsoon is a term derived from the Arabic word Mausim , meaning season. It was first used by Arabic navigators to describe the seasonal winds of the Arabian Sea. These winds blow from the north-east for one half of the year and from the south-west for the other half. Monsoon winds blow from cold to warm regions because cold air takes up more space than warm air
Indias climate is dominated by monsoons. Monsoons are strong, often violent winds that change direction with the season. Prof. B. B. Ghurake 2015
Monsoons occur due to changes in atmospheric pressure which are caused by different rates of heating and cooling of continents and oceans. Monsoons occur every year in many countries around the world other than South Asia - northern Australia, Africa, South America and the US are also affected. Prof. B. B. Ghurake 2015
"There is no substitute for the Hard Work".- Prof. B.B. Ghurake
Being a tropical monsoon country there are two monsoon seasons. The South West (summer) monsoon has warm winds blowing from Indian Ocean. Its span is June to September, with 75 % of the annual rainfall in India. It varies from 10 cm in western Rajasthan to over 900 cm in Meghalaya. Summer monsoon North- East (winter) monsoon is characterized by a dry continental air mass blowing from the vast Siberian high pressure area from December to March. The rainfall includes snowfall during winter monsoon which is of the order of 1000 km2 in India. This is also known as Retreating monsoon. Winter monsoon

Major types of Climate found in India 1. The Hot Weather Season (March-May) 2. The Rainy Season (June-September) 3. The Season of Retreating South-west Monsoon (October-November). 4. The Cold Weather Season (December-February) Prof. B. B. Ghurake 2015
1. The Hot Weather Season (March-May) The North Indian region experiences a well defined hot weather season during the month of April and May. Temperature starts rising by the middle of March and by mid May, Mercury touches 41 to 42 C. Temperature even exceeds 45 C in areas of central and north-west India. A striking feature of the hot weather season is the Loo. It is a hot and dry wind which blows in Northern India and Pakistan and can cause heat stroke. The highest temperature is recorded in the month of March and May. Prof. B. B. Ghurake 2015
