Question

Name two regions that receive winter rainfall and identify each region’s source.

Answer 1

Two regions that receive winter rainfall are:

1. North-western India (Punjab, Haryana, western Uttar Pradesh) due to western disturbances originating from the Mediterranean Sea.
2. The Coromandel Coast (Tamil Nadu and southern Andhra Pradesh) due to the north-east monsoon winds picking up moisture over the Bay of Bengal.
