✓

Answer

The climate of a place is decided by the following factors:
  1. Location.
  2. Altitude.
  3. Distance from sea.
  4. Relief.
Hence, we experience regional differences in the climate of India.
  1. Jaisalmer and Bikaner in the Rajasthan Desert are very hot, on the other hand Drass and Kargil in Jammu and Kashmir are freezing cold, due to difference in altitude and location.
  2. Places at the coast like Mumbai and Kolkata experience moderate climate.
  3. They are neither too hot nor too cold.
  4. These places are very humid.
  5. Mawsynram in Meghalaya receives the world’s highest rainfall, on the other hand it might not rain at all in Jaisalmer in Rajasthan, in a particular year.
