Question

Give a reason for each of the following :

Goa receives heavier rainfall than Puducherry . 

Answer 1

Being in the tropical zone and near the Arabian Sea, the climate of Goa is warm and humid for most of the year. The month of May is the hottest, with day-time temperatures touching 35"C (95"F). To top it, the heat is coupled with high humidity. The monsoons arrive around early June and provide a much needed respite from the heat. Then Goa receives the full blast of the Indian monsoon with sudden downpours and tropical thunderstorms goa is in the windward side of western ghats whereas Pondicherry is in the eastern ghats.
