Snowfall is not experienced in Maharashtra. - Vidyadip

Question

Snowfall is not experienced in Maharashtra.

✓

Answer

Solid snow particles are formed in regions where the temperature falls below the freezing point leading to the process of sublimation.
In the sublimation process, the water vapour directly turns into snowflakes.
In Maharashtra, during winters the temperature never falls below the freezing point.
Hence snowflakes are never formed in the atmosphere.
Thus snowfall is not experienced in Maharashtra.
