Question

What are the three special characteristics of the cold dry winter season?

Answer 1

1. Clear Skies and Low Humidity: The season is marked by pleasant weather, clear blue skies, great weather, and unusually low humidity levels across the majority of the country.
2. High-Pressure System and Offshore Winds: As the land cools rapidly, a stable high-pressure system forms over northern India, producing cool, dry Northeast Trade Winds to blow offshore from the land and toward the sea.
3. Inflow of Western Disturbances: The mostly dry northern plains get light but critical winter rainfall brought by shallow cyclonic depressions known as Western Cyclonic Disturbances, which travel all the way from the Mediterranean.
