उत्तर
- Annual rainfall = Sum of rainfall in all twelve months
Therefore, annual rainfall is 129 cm. - The annual range of temperature = Maximum temperature − minimum temperature.
36.2°C − 24.5°C = 11.7°C - The station lies on the southeastern coast of India.
Reason:
Maximum rainfall occurs in the months of October and November (30.6 cm and 35.0 cm), which is typical of the Retreating Monsoon Season, common along the Eastern Coast (e.g., Tamil Nadu coast).
