Describe the climatic conditions in Asia from October to March.

उत्तर
From October to March, Asia experiences winter season as the northern hemisphere receives the slanting rays of the sun because of the tilt of the earth’s axis. The temperature falls to 0°C and even below freezing point in many parts of northern Asia. The air over the land is cold and heavy and sinks causing high pressure. The surrounding oceans and seas have higher temperature and lower pressure so the cold air
moves from land (high pressure) to sea (low pressure). These winds are dry and hence most of Asia receives no winter rainfall except South-East Asia, Japan, South-Eastern India and parts of Sri Lanka, where the same winds cross the seas
and pick up moisture. A few regions of South-West Asia receive winter rainfall from the temperate cyclones that originate over the Mediterranean Sea.
