Question
Which of the following statements is correct about
‘Loo’ winds in the context of the Indian climate?Solution
Loo winds are hot, dry winds that blow during the summer season in northern India, typically between March and June. They are most common in the arid and semi-arid regions of Rajasthan, Haryana, and Punjab, significantly increasing temperatures. Key Points: 1. The Loo winds can cause heatstroke if people are exposed for long durations. 2. They are most intense during the afternoons. 3. Loo winds typically cease after the onset of the monsoon season. 4. Temperatures during the Loo can exceed 45°C. 5. The winds play a significant role in the Indian heatwave patterns. Bee Facts: • Rainy season (a): Incorrect; these winds do not occur during monsoons. • Summer season (b): Correct; Loo winds are a feature of Indian summers. • Winter season (c): Incorrect; cold winds dominate winters. • Throughout the year (d): Incorrect; Loo winds are seasonal.
