Explanation:

The Loo is a strong, dusty, gusty, hot and dry summer wind from the west which blows over the western Indo-Gangetic Plain region of North India and Pakistan. It is especially strong in the months of May and June. Due to its very high temperatures (45 °C–50 °C or 115 °F–120 °F), exposure to it often leads to fatal heatstrokes.

Nor'westers or the Kalbaishakhi is a local rain fall and thunder storm which occurs in India and Bangladesh.

Mango showers is a colloquial term to describe the occurrence of pre-monsoon rainfall. Sometimes these rains are referred to generically as 'April rains' or 'Summer showers'. They are notable across much of South and Southeast Asia, including India, and Cambodia.
