Answer
The Tropical Monsoon type of climate is found in Southern Asia with onshore wet monsoons in the summer and offshore dry monsoons in the winter. This type of climate has hot summers and cool winters with a distinct rainy season.
Temperature — The summer temperature varies between 27°C to 30°C in the coastal areas and 35°C to 38°C in the interior. The winter temperature is between 5°C and 18°C in the interior and between 22°C and 25°C in the coastal areas.
Rainfall — Summer rain provides a refreshing contrast from the dry conditions in winter. The Trade Winds in winter blow from land to sea. In India, due to the Himalayan barrier, they move in the North-East direction. They pick up moisture over the Bay of Bengal and cause winter rainfall over much of the Coromandel coast. The rainfall is not uniform in this region. The annual amount of rainfall varies from 75 to 200 cms. Cherrapunji in Meghalaya receives over 1200 cm rainfall.
