Climate in india
India has a large number of climatic regions, tropical climate in the south to temperate and alpine in the north Himalayan regions. The elevated Himalayan regions receive snowfall in the winter months. Himalayas and the Thar Desert substantially influence the Indian climate. The Himalayas block the cold winds from Central Asia. This keeps the Indian subcontinent warmer than places with similar latitudes. Thar Desert attracts the south west monsoons during the June to October post summer months, providing most of the rainfall in India.
