Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The monsoonal rains and heavy precipitation occur in summer from June to September due to the shifting of the intertropical convergence zone and upper air circulation. Dry winds can also desiccate the land during the summer months. India's weather patterns are not characterized by an even distribution of precipitation throughout the year, and while the proximity to oceans on either side does have some moderating effects on the climate in certain regions, it is not a definitive characteristic of the country's weather patterns as a whole. Therefore, option A, D, and E are incorrect.
