Current Events #3- India Climate

India Climate
Unlike New Jersey, India falls into the tropical area, therefore experiences different seasons and weather. During Sept.-Oct. time, New Jersey gets a drastic change in temperature, from hot to cold; during Apr.-May, cold to hot. In India, on the other hand, the temperature mostly stays in the same area.

India has four seasons: Winter, Summer/Pre-Monsoon, Monsoon/Rainy, & Post Monsoon.
-Winter: Occurs between Jan and Mar. In the northwest, temperatures are
50-59°F ( 10–15 °C); in the southeast, temperatures reach 80-89 °F ( 20–25 °C).
-Summer: From March-June. Temperatures reaching 90-104 °F (32-40°C).
-Monsoon: Lasting from June-Sept. A lot of rain and humidity. South to North
-Post Monsoon: From Oct.-Dec. Cloudless. South India receives more precipitation.

I think the weather in India is nice and warm; but you aren't exposed to different types of weather. It could get boring having in it rain the whole trimester. In New Jersey, the rain would last for a week or two and be gone. Here, you are exposed to different ranges in temperature, therefore you are used to the warm and humid, and the frosty cold. When you travel, you'll be used to whatever type of weather they have.

My Current Events post if referring to the "Climate of India" article from wikipedia.
