Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

India's weather patterns are influenced by the shifting of the intertropical convergence zone and upper air circulation, which brings heavy precipitation in the summer from June to September. Monsoonal rains are heaviest in this period. Dry winds do desiccate the land during the summer, but this is not the dominant pattern. The country's weather patterns are not characterized by an even distribution of precipitation throughout the year. While they are an example of atmospheric circulation, they are not an example of primary atmospheric circulation.
