Following seasons are, experienced in India., Winter : Winter is a cold season. Since the sun-rays fall diagonally and occasionally snowfall occurs,, the temperature drops in the northern plains and the Himalayan region. The areas of Northern, parts of Gujarat experiences more cold than other parts of the state. Days are shorter in this season., Summer : Summer is the season of tropical heat. Temperature rises very high as sun rays fall, vertically during these day. Temperature remains low in the areas near the sea coast in comparison, to the continental parts of the country. Dry and hot winds blow in the noon time which is called, ‘Loo’. Northern part of Gujarat and western part of Rajasthan experience more heat during this, season. Days are longer than the winter during this season., Monsoon : Monsoon is a season of rain. The south west winds flowing from the sea side are, humid. These winds bring rain. These winds advance above the Arabian sea to Kerala, Maharashtra, and central part of India. While the other current of these winds advances towards the Ganga plains, through Bay of Bengal, Andaman and Nicobar Island and eastern India. When both the wind currents, advance, they meet with each other and bring rain to western Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab and, Eastern Rajasthan. When winds are obstructed by mountains they give more rain. Gujarat does not, have large mountains in the way of these winds, so less rainfall is there., Retreating monsoon wind season: Winds blow from land to sea in this season.
