Latitude

The tropic of cancer passes through the middle of the country from rann of kuchchh in the west to mizoram in the east. almost half of the coumtry, lying south of the tropic of cancer, belongs to the tropical area. All the remaining area, north of the tropic, lies in the sub-tropics. Therefore, India's climate has characteristics of tropical as well as subtropical climates.

Altitude

India has mountains to the north, which have an average height of about 6,00 metres. India also has a vast coastal area where the maximum elevation is about 30 metres. The Himalayas prevent the cold winds from Central Asia from entering the subcontinent. It is because of these mountains that this subcontinent experiences comparitively milder winters as compared to central Asia.

Pressure and Winds

The climate and associated weather conditions in India are governed by the following atmospheric conditions:

~Pressure and Surface winds

~Upper air circulation; and

~Western cyclonic disturbances and tropical cyclones.
