The Tropical Wet Climate Areas of India

The tropical wet areas of India refer to the most humid region that is characterised by the monsoon climate. India has two Island territories that come under the tropical wet region of India including Andaman and Nicobar Island, Lakshadweep. The tropical wet region of India has a high moisture content that helps to sustain forests and vegetation throughout the year. The majority of the seasonal rainfall occurs from May to November that helps to maintain the overall humid condition in the tropical wet area. 

What is the tropical wet climate of India? 

The tropical wet climate region of India refers to the two Islands Andaman and Nicobar, Lakshadweep, Western Malabar region and south Assam. The tropical wet region is the wettest in the country that maintains the humidity throughout the year due to the high amount of rainfall in the monsoon season. The average rainfall in the monsoon is recorded as 1800-2500 mm in the year. The monsoon occurs throughout the year and heavily in the time of May to November. Hot climate regions in that annual rainfall falls under 1000 mm and generally refers to the dry climate have support from the tropical region for maintaining the forest area. 

Explanation of the tropical wet climate of India

The lowland region of the tropics influences rainfall and helps to maintain the humidity of the total climate in India. Topographical region of Indian influences the rainfall in the tropical region that maintains the rainforest distribution in the two islands and low land areas. In the tropical wet region, the winter and the early summer days are long that has an average temperature of 18 degrees centigrade. The summer period is long in the low lying areas and the average temperature in the summer region can go 50 degrees centigrade. The Ganges deltas also come in the tropical wet region that falls under 1500-2000 mm rainfall every year.

What is the dry climate of India?

The arid and semi-arid region of the country falls under the tropical dry climate region due to the evaporation of water and moisture loss. The tropical and subtropical steppe climate comes under the dry region due to the evapotranspiration that exceeds the precipitation. The tropical and semi-arid steppe region extends from the eastern region of the Western Ghats to the Cardamom hills that increase the evaporation level to decrease the moisture content in the climate. The dry climate region of the country includes Karnataka, Maharashtra, the west region of Andhra Pradesh, inland Tamil Nadu. Most of the dry climate area has a winter temperature of 29-degree centigrade during the day and below 14-degree centigrade at the night. 

Describe the tropical wet regions of India

The tropical region of the country refers to the humanoid and hot temperature that has the moisture absorbed in the atmosphere to maintain average rainfall in the region. The tropical wet monsoon climate of India includes the coastal region of Kerala, south Assam, western Malabar hills where average rainfall falls under 1500-2000 mm on yearly basis. These regions in the country have high to moderate temperatures throughout the year and heavy rainfall occurs between May to November. However, from December to March this region is relatively dry. 

Describe the dry climate region of India

The West region of Rajasthan falls under the arid climate zone that falls under the driest region in the country. The average rainfall in the western region of Rajasthan falls under 300 mm on yearly basis. Atmospheric moisture evaporated due to the precipitation, results in the dry climate in the arid region of the country. The summer period in the arid and semi-arid region is excessively hot and the temperature in the winter period also falls very low as compared to the other region in the country. The Adoni region in Andhra Pradesh also comes under the dry climate area where the summer temperature goes beyond 47 degrees centigrade.

Impact of tropical and dry climate on India

The equatorial structure of the tropical latitude impacts the temperature in the tropical rainforest that maintains the day length and fair climate throughout the year. The sun rises in the vertical region that impacts the day length throughout the season. The incoming radiant energy varies from the tropical region to the dry region due to the vertical rise. The tropical temperature in the country helps to grow the rainforest and maintains the green environment to maintain the average humidity of the earth’s climate.

Conclusion

The above study indicates that the Indian climate is a mixed climate that has both tropical and wet regions to maintain biodiversity in the country. Easter region of the Thar Desert and Punjab Haryana region comes under the subtropical steppe climate that falls under the dry region in the country. The heavy rain in the monsoon times is due to the biodiversity in the tropical climate of India.
