  1. Why do people all over the world dress differently?

  2. CLIMATE OF INDIA Subject: Geography For Class : VI

  3. Variations In Climate Varied land forms features • Some places are extremely hot while some are very cold. • Coastal have moderate climate. • Thar desert is extremely dry

  4. Vast Latitudinal extent EQUATORIAL REGION • The Tropic of Cancer passes through India dividing it into two halves . • . TROPIC OF CANCER High range of Temp High Temp Low range The Northern half lies in the Temperate Zone The Southern half lies in the Tropical zone.

  5. AGRA 160C in Jan Darjeeling 40C in January ALTITUDE Temperature decreased from low to high altitude HIGH ALTITUDE Decrease in Temperature LOW ALTITUDE Some places like Agra and Darjeeling lie on the same latitude but as Darjeeling is situated at a higher altitude are colder than places in the plains.

  6. FACTORS AFFECTING INDIAN CLIMATE • The Himalayan Mt. • Surrounding Seas • Relief Features • Distance from Sea

  7. Factors Affecting Climate of India The Himalayas • In winters act as a barrier against the bitterly cold winds from the Arctic . • In summer they trap the monsoon winds and bring rain to India.

  8. THE HIMALAYAS- CLIMATIC BARRIER Cold Wave Cold Wave Cold Wave Cold Wave Monsoon Wind Monsoon Wind Monsoon Wind Monsoon Wind

  9. RELIEF Receives high rainfall Western slopes of the Western Ghats get very heavy rain fall. Places to the East receive low rain fall. Western Ghat Mt. Monsoon Wind Receives low rainfall Monsoon Wind Monsoon Wind

  10. SIMLA DELHI KOLKOTA MUMBAI CHENNAI DISTANCE FROM SEA Coastal areas have moderate climate where as Interior parts have extreme climate.

  11. RHYTHM OF SEASONS HOT WEATHER RETREATING MONSOON COLD WEATHER SOUTH WEST MONSOON

  12. Winter Season • It extends from December to February. • Average temperature in the Northern Plains is between 10° C and 15°C • North India experiences intense cold. • .There is light rainfall during winter. • This is caused by Cyclonic storms which originate from the Mediterranean sea and Travel towards India These winds are WESTERN DISTURBANCE • Occasional tropical cyclone visit eastern coast in this season. They cause heavy snowfall in the Himalayas and rain in the plains.

  13. WIND DIRECTION- WINTER Northern Plain Ganga Delta Tropicalcyclone

  14. WINTER RAINFALL RAINFALL DUE TO WESTERN DISTURBANCES RAINFALL DUE TO NORTH EAST WIND

  15. The Summer Season • Summmer starts from April and lasts till June. • Northern Plains record highest temperature. • Deccan is comparatively cooler • The hot dry wind LOO blows over Northern Plains. • Kalbaisakhi Occurs in West Bengal and Assam. • Mango showers occur in Karnataka and Kerala

  16. SOUTH WEST MONSOON SEASON • It extends from June to September. • Intense heating in north west India creates low pressure region. • Low pressure attract the wind from the surrounding region. • After having rains for a few days sometime monsoon fails to occur for one or more weeks is known as break in the monsoon. HIGH TEMPERATURE LOW PRESSURE

  17. MONSOON WIND Arabian sea Branch Bay of Bengal Branch EQUATOR SE Trade SE Trade SE Trade SE Trade

  18. ONSET OF SW MONSOON 15th June 15th July 1st July 10th June 5th June 1st June

  19. RETREATING MONSOON SEASON • It extends from October to November. • In October the temperature starts dropping there is LOW PRESSURE ZONE in Northern India and cannot attract monsoon winds. • The south -west winds retreat gradually. • They blow from land to sea. • They do not cause any rain except in Tamilnadu. • ure region shift from northern parts of India towards south. • Owing to the conditions of high temperature and humidity, the weather becomes rather oppressive. This is commonly known as the ‘October heat’ LOW PRESSURE

  20. DISTRIBUTION OF RAINFALL • Broadly ,India can be divided into Four rainfall regions • Very heavy rainfall • heavy rainfall • moderate rainfall • scanty rainfall > 200cm 100-200cm 50-100 cm < 50cm

  21. Very heavy rainfall regions:more than 200cm Of rain in a year. Heavy rainfall regions :between 100to 200cm of rain in a year. The Ganga plains in Bihar and West Bengal. The Himalayan region. The Northwestern part of the Peninsular Plateau Parts of the Western Ghats. The east coast and the north east India • the Western Coastal Plains • The western slopes of theWestern Ghats. • Most of the northeastern states.

  22. Moderate rainfall region: Annual rainfall between 50—100cm Scanty rainfall region lessthan 50 cm Western Rajasthan Southern Punjab and Northern Gujarat. Eastern slopes of the Western Ghats. Northern Parts of Kashmir. • The upper Ganga plain • Eastern Rajasthan Punjab Haryana and Soutern Kashmir • Parts of the Deccan Plateau –Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh& Tamilnadu.

  23. May 480C April 380C March 300C HOT WEATHER SEASON • It extends from March to May. • Vertical sun rays shift towards Northern hemisphere. • Temperature rises gradually from south to north. • Highest Temperature experiences in Karnataka in March, Madhya Pradesh in April and Rajastan in May.

  24. TEMPERATURE- JULY 250C 200C 300C 250C 200C 300C 300C

  25. Let’sEvaluate • Mention the Three factors which affect India’s climate. • Why are the Himalayas important in determinig India’s climate • Give the four Major seaons of India. • What are western disturbances in which area do they cause rain? • Which months are known for the retreating monsoon? • Which is the rain shadow area? • Name the four rainfall regions. • Which region receives the the least amount of rainfall.

  26. KOLKOTA MUMBAI CHENNAI CLIMATE CHANGE & INDIA • India has long coast line and rise of sea level will submerge large area. • A population of 7.1 million living in coastal areas will be affected. • Production of crops like wheat, rice etc will decrease. • The natural disasters like cyclone, floods and drought will increase in frequency as well as intensity.

  27. Prepare a power point presentation: showing the distribution of rainfall . how life is affected with excess rain or draught. • Read and record the rainfall and temperature data of your city for 15days and make a graph. • Study this years rainfall and compare it with Last year.

  28. Prepare a ppt. answering the following: • Explain Monsoons its advantages • www.climateofindia.pbwiki.com • Prepare for a group discussion .Change in Climate in India. • Prepare an analysis of yearly temperature and rainfall data by using different graphs and upload it to www.climateofindia.pbwiki.com. • Collect photographs of monsoon and upload to or www.climateofindia.pbwiki.com.
