According to Koeppen's Scheme, which type of climate is denoted by 'Cwg' in India?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Monsoon with dry winter

  • Koeppen's climate classification system designates the 'Cwg' code for a climate type known as "Monsoon-influenced Hot Semi-arid" or "Tropical Wet and Dry." This climate is characterized by distinct wet and dry seasons with relatively high temperatures throughout the year.
  • In the wet season, there is significant rainfall, often influenced by the monsoon winds, while the dry season experiences reduced precipitation. 'Cwg' climates are found in certain regions of India, particularly in the central and western parts.
