According to Indian Meteorology, which of the following is NOT a season experienced in India?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Equatorial season.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), India experiences four main seasons: Winter (Jan–Feb), Summer or Pre-Monsoon (Mar–May), Monsoon or Southwest Rainy Season (Jun–Sep), and Post-Monsoon or Northeast Monsoon (Oct–Dec). These are based on India’s tropical and monsoonal climate patterns. The term 'Equatorial season' is not recognized as a distinct season in Indian meteorology. It typically refers to weather conditions near the equator, such as consistently warm temperatures and high rainfall throughout the year, which is not specific to India. Hence, 'Equatorial season' is NOT a season experienced in India as per official classification.
