Answer :-
- India's climate is essentially 'tropical monsoon'. Its main characteristics are as follows:
- Seasonal reversal of winds: With the change of seasons, the wind direction changes completely (from land to sea in winter and from sea to land in summer).
- Nature of rainfall: The majority of the total rainfall (75% +) comes from the southwest monsoon (June-September),
which is indefinite, irregular, and unevenly distributed. - Unity in diversity: Despite significant regional variations in temperature and precipitation, the 'monsoon' binds the entire country into a single climatic unit.
- Different seasons: India experiences various seasons (summer, monsoon, autumn, pre-winter, winter, and spring).
- Climatic conditions in India make various disasters prone to disasters, such as floods, droughts, cyclones, and the devastation caused by the Kal Baisakhi.
