"india has diverse climatic conditions".explain any 2 examoles each of temperature and precipitation

Despite the overall unity accorded by the monsoon, there are visible regional variations in climatic conditions within India. Regardless of the moderating influences of the Himalayas in the north and the sea in the south, variations do exist in temperature, humidity and precipitation. For example, in summer, some parts of the Rajasthan desert, in north-western India, record temperatures of 500C, while it may be around 200C in Pahalgam inJammu and Kashmir, in the north of the country. On a winter night, the temperature at Drass in Jammu and Kashmir may be as low as minus 450C, while Thiruvananthapuram may have a temperature of 220C. In general, coastal areas experience less contrasts in temperature conditions. Seasonal contrasts are more in the interior of the country.

Another case in point is precipitation. While precipitation is mostly in the form of snowfall in the upper parts of the Himalayas, it rains over the rest of the country. The annual precipitation varies from over 400 cm in Meghalaya to less than 10 cm in Ladakh and western Rajasthan. Most parts of the country receive rainfall from June to September, but some parts like theTamil Naducoast get most of their rain during October and November.
