Kaal Baisakhi belongs to which state from the following?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. West Bengal.
Kaal Baisakhi, also known as Nor’westers, is a local term for violent thunderstorms that occur in the pre-monsoon season, mainly during April and May, in West Bengal and parts of Eastern India. These storms are characterized by strong winds, heavy rainfall, lightning, and sometimes hail, providing relief from the intense summer heat. The phenomenon is caused by the convection of hot and humid air. While similar weather events occur in nearby states, the name “Kaal Baisakhi” is specifically associated with West Bengal’s climatic pattern.
