Question : 11 [SSC MTS 2014]
Which of the following is the area of lowest pressure over Indian subcontinent during the hot dry weather season ?
a) Rajasthan
b) Meghalaya
c) RannofKachchh
d) North-West India
Answer »Answer: (d)
The southwestern summer monsoons occur from June through September. The Thar Desert and adjoining areas of the northern and central Indian subcontinent heats up considerably during the hot summers.
This causes a low-pressure area over the northern and central Indian subcontinent. To fill this void, the moisture-laden winds from the Indian Ocean rush into the subcontinent.
Question : 12 [SSC CML 2002]
Western disturbances cause rainfall in the following Indian states during winter
a) Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh
b) Bihar and West Bengal
c) Punjab and Haryana
d) Kerala and Karnataka
Answer »Answer: (c)
The term 'Western Disturbance' is used to describe an extratropical storm, which brings winter rain and sometimes snow to the northwestern parts of India.
When the Western Disturbance moves across northwest India before the onset of monsoon, a temporary advancement of monsoon current appears over the states including Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir etc.
When it passes across north India, it helps to increase monsoon activity over Punjab and Uttar Pradesh.
Question : 14 [SSC SIG 2006]
Rajasthan reveives very little rain because—
a) there is no water available and thus the winds remain dry
b) the winds do not come across any barriers to cause the necessary uplift to cool the wind
c) it is too hot
d) the monsoon fails to reach this area
Answer »Answer: (b)
Rainfall decreases as winds move westwards up the Ganga Plains. Rajasthan receives very little rain as it lies in the rain-shadow of the Aravali Hills. The climate of Rajasthan varies greatly throughout the state.
It is very hot and dry in summer in the desert areas, where dust storms also occur, while it is very cold during the winters. To the west of the Aravali range, the weather is characterized by low rainfall with erratic distribution, extremes of diurnal and annual temperatures, low humidity and high wind velocity.
While in the east of the Aravali range, the weather is characterized by relatively low wind velocity and high humidity with better rainfall.
