The northern portion of the country experiences a period of extreme heat and lowering air pressure during the summer.
In July, the ITCZ advances northward, assuming a position centered around 25°N as a result of the subcontinent heating up.
Some of the famous local storms that develop in India in the hot weather season are:
Mango Showers: Towards the end of summer, there are pre-monsoon showers, a common phenomenon in Kerala and coastal areas of Karnataka.Locally, they are known as mango showers since they help in the early ripening of mangoes.Hence, Pair 1 is correctly matched.
Blossom Shower: With this shower, coffee flowers blossom in Kerala and nearby areas.Hence, Pair 2 is incorrectly matched.
Nor Westers: These are dreaded evening thunderstorms in Bengal and Assam.Their notorious nature can be understood from the local nomenclature of ‘Kalbaisakhi’, a calamity of the month of Baisakh.These showers are useful for tea, jute, and rice cultivation.In Assam, these storms are known as Bardoisila.Hence, Pair 3 is correctly matched.
Loo: Hot, dry, and oppressing winds blowing in the Northern plains from Punjab to Bihar, with higher intensity between Delhi and Patna.Hence, Pair 4 is correctly matched.
