The main features of the hot weather season are as follows: (i) The hot, weather season remains from March to May.

The main features of the hot weather season are as follows:
(i) The hot, weather season remains from March to May.
(ii) The temperature rises at different latitudes i.e., in March highest is about 38° Celsius on the Deccan Plateau, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh 42° Celsius in April and 45° celsius in May in northwestern parts of the country.
(iii) In peninsular India, temperatures remain lower due to the moderating influence of the oceans.
(iv) There is rising temperature and falling air pressure in the northern part of the country.
(v) A striking feature is the ‘loo’. These are strong, gusty, hot and dry winds.
(vi) Dust storms are very common during the month of May in northern India.
(vii) It is a season for localised thunder-storms, associated with violent winds, torrential downpours, often accompanied by hail. In West Bengal, these storms are called “Kaal Baisakhi”.
(viii) Towards the close of the summer season, pre-monsoon showers are common especially in Kerala and Karnataka. They help in the early ripening of mangoes and are often referred to as ‘mango showers’.
The main features of the Advancing monsoon or the Rainy season which is known as south-west monsoon are as given below: (i) The winds are strong and blow at an average velocity of 30 km per hour. (ii) Ii brings a total change in the weather. Early in the season, the windward side of the Western GhatRead more
The main features of the Advancing monsoon or the Rainy season which is known as south-west monsoon are as given below:
(i) The winds are strong and blow at an average velocity of 30 km per hour.
(ii) Ii brings a total change in the weather. Early in the season, the windward side of the Western Ghats receives very heavy rainfall, more than 250 cm. The Deccan Plateau and parts of Madhya Pradesh also receive some amount of rain in spite of lying in the rain shadow area.
(iii) Maximum rainfall is received in the north-eastern part of the country.
(iv) Mawsynram in the southern ranges of the Khasi Hills receives the highest average rainfall in the world. Rainfall in the Ganga plains decreases from the east to the west. Rajasthan and parts of Gujarat get scanty rainfall. It has ‘breaks’in rainfall i.e., If has wet and dry spells. The’breaks’are due to the movement of the monsoon trough. The heavy rains in the plains bring devastating floods, causing damage to life and property. The monsoon is known for its
uncertainties. The alternation of dry and wet spells vary in intensity frequency, and duration. It may cause floods, as well as droughts. It is often irregular in its arrival and its retreat and, therefore, disturbs the farming schedule of the farmers.

It is replaced by a high pressure system which weakens the monsoon winds. They therefore, start Withdrawing gradually. (b) TheRead more

(b) The monsoons retreat from most parts of India by mid-October.
(c) The retreat of the monsoon is marked by clear skies and rise in temperature.
(d) While day temperatures are high, nights are cool and pleasant.
(e) Owing to the conditions of high temperature and humidity,, the weather becomes
rather oppressive during the day. This is commonly known as ‘October heat.’
(o) Causes : The causes were as follows : (i) In 1905, the colonial government proposed to reserve two-thirds of the forest and stop shifting cultivation, hunting and collection of forest produce.

(ii) only, some villages were allowed to stay on in the reserved forests on the condition that they worked free for the forest department in cutting and transporting trees and protecting the forests from fire. These were called ,forest villages,.
(iii) People from other villages than forest villages were displaced without any notice or compensation.
(iv) For long people had been suffering from increased land rents and frequent demands for free labour and goods by colonial officials.
(v) The famines in 1899-1900 and 1907-1908 too had affected the lives of people and they faced great hardships. As a result of above factors they rose against the colonial rule.
(b) Events : Every village contributed something to the rebellion expenses. Bazaars were looted, the houses of the officials and traders, schools and police stations were burnt and robbed, and grain redistributed.
