Is it very hot in India?

The whole of India is hot, and most of it has a tropical monsoon climate, while the Thar Desert in western India has a tropical desert climate. There is a more obvious monsoon in summer, but less obvious in winter. India's climate is divided into rainy season (June to October), dry season (March to May), and cool season (November to February). In winter, it is affected by the barrier of the Himalayas, and there is no cold current or cold high pressure southward to affect India.

India is located in the northern hemisphere, between 8°24′-37°36′ north latitude and 68°7′-97°25′ east longitude. India is the largest country in South Asia, with an area of ​​2.98 million square kilometers, ranking 7th in the world.

Topography

From the Himalayas to the south, it extends into the Indian Ocean. The north is the mountainous area, the middle is the Indus-Ganges plain, and the south is the Deccan Plateau and its east and west. Coastal plains on both sides. Plains account for about 40% of the total area, mountains only account for 25%, and plateaus account for 1/3, but most of these mountains and plateaus are no more than 1,000 meters above sea level. The low and gentle terrain occupies an absolute advantage in the country. Not only is transportation convenient, but also with the cooperation of the tropical monsoon climate and fertile soil conditions such as alluvial soil and tropical black soil suitable for agricultural production, most of the land can be used for agriculture, and crops can be grown all year round. It can grow and has unique natural conditions.

High temperature weather

High temperature is not only unbearable for people, but also for wild animals and domestic animals. Sustained high temperatures have caused mass deaths of bats, crows and peacocks living in the forest belt of Uttar Pradesh, India's largest state. In addition, after the drought in 2009, Indian farmers waiting to harvest wheat have become impatient. However, continued high temperatures may result in reduced wheat yields. The director of the Uttar Pradesh Agriculture Department said that because the high temperature weather from March to April affected wheat growth, the wheat yield in Uttar Pradesh may be reduced by 35% compared with previous years.

Since March 2015, temperatures have continued to rise in most parts of India. Since May, the temperature in most cities across the country has remained above 42 degrees Celsius, setting the highest record in Indian meteorological history. Indian meteorologists pointed out that monsoon rains usually start in early June, but it is still far from the rainy season and cannot be expected to reduce the temperature through rain. Officials in Gujarat state said that the state's hospitals receive about 300 patients with food poisoning and heat stroke in a day, and the "300" number is only a conservative estimate and does not include patients in remote rural areas.
