SSC MTS 2024 PYQ — Question 42

The  Correct answer is option 2 i.e. Mango Showers

In Kerala and the coastal areas of Karnataka, the pre-monsoon showers are popularly known as “Mango Showers.” These rains usually occur during April and May, just before the onset of the southwest monsoon. They are called Mango Showers because they help in the ripening of mangoes, which are abundant in these regions during this season. These light to moderate rains also provide relief from the summer heat and help prepare the soil for the upcoming agricultural season. In some parts of South India, they are also referred to as “April Rains.”
