Climate of India | Climate of Brazil |
| 1. | India has a monsoon-type climate. | Brazil experiences a wide range of variations in climate. For example, the climate is hot near the equator while it is temperate near the Tropic of Capricorn. |
| 2. | In India, the average temperature is higher throughout the year since the sun’s rays are perpendicular up to the Tropic of Cancer that passes through it. | In Brazil, the equator cuts across the northern part of the country, which results in an average temperature of 25°C to 28°C in the Amazon Valley. |
| 3. | The temperature in the northern states of India is cold. The temperature increases towards the southern states. For e.g., Jammu & Kashmir and parts of the mountainous regions of the Himalayas experience temperatures of −40° during the winters. | The northern part of Brazil is generally hot, while in the southern part, the temperature is comparatively lower. |
| 4. | India receives rainfall due to the south-west monsoon winds, and the rainfall is mainly orographic rain. | Brazil receives the orographic type of rainfall from the south-east trade winds & north-east trade winds, and the rainfall in the northern part of Brazil is of the conventional type. |
| 5. | Tropical cyclones occur frequently in India. | Tropical cyclones occur rarely in Brazil. |
