SSC CGL - 26 Sep 2024 - Shift 3 • General Awareness • Q40

Which of the following states suffers from ‘Loo’?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Rajasthan.

Rajasthan suffers from "Loo," a hot, dry wind that blows across the state, especially during the summer months. The Loo can reach temperatures above 45°C (113°F) and is known for causing dehydration, exhaustion, and heat-related illnesses. This intense heat wave typically occurs from late spring to early summer. The Loo exacerbates the already harsh desert climate of Rajasthan, making it difficult for people to cope with extreme weather conditions.
