define kal baisakhi? mango showers and loo?

  1. Dusty squalls that are followed by thunderstorms and heavy rains during summer in West Bengal are known as Kaal Baisakhi. These occur prior to the onset of south west monsoon in the month of April-May.
  2. Towards the end of the summer season, pre-monsoon showers are common especially, in Kerala and Karnataka. They help in the early ripening of mangoes, hence referred to as ‘mango showers
  3. The ‘loo’ is a term referred to strong, gusty, hot, dry winds blowing during the day over the north and northwestern India. Sometimes they even continue until late in the evening. Direct exposure to these winds may even prove to be fatal. Dust storms are very common during the month of May in northern India. These storms bring temporary relief as they lower the temperature and may bring light rain and cool breeze.

thumbs up plz!
