Which of the following is the area of lowest pressure over Indian subcontinent during the hot dry weather season?
-
- RannofKachchh
- Rajasthan
- North-West India
- Meghalaya
Correct Option: C
The southwestern summer monsoons occur from June through September. The Thar Desert and adjoining areas of the northern and central Indian subcontinent heats up considerably during the hot summers. This causes a low-pressure area over the northern and central Indian subcontinent. To fill this void, the moisture-laden winds from the Indian Ocean rush into the subcontinent.
