Tropic of Cancer divides India into almost two equal parts. The Tropic of Cancer runs through India and divides the country into almost two equal parts between 8°4' to 37°6' north latitude. From the Southern tip of India to the Tropic of Cancer = 15 deg 26 min.
During the month of June, the sun shines vertically over the Tropic of Cancer and the ITCZ shifts northwards.
The southeast trade winds of the southern hemisphere cross the equator and start blowing in southwest to northeast direction under the influence of Coriolis force. These winds collect moisture as they travel over the warm Indian Ocean.
