The tropical monsoon climate in India is characterized by heavy rainfall during the monsoon season, which typically lasts from June to September.

The temperate climate in India is characterized by cold and wet winters, with temperatures dropping below 10 degrees Celsius (50 degrees Fahrenheit) in some parts of the country.

The continental climate in India is characterized by hot and dry summers, with temperatures reaching up to 45 degrees Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit) in some parts of the country.

Latitude, altitude, and distance from the sea are all major factors contributing to the diversity of climate in India.

Climate change is having a major impact on India, leading to increased frequency of extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and changes in agricultural productivity.

The Indian government has taken several major initiatives to address climate change, including the National Action Plan on Climate Change, the International Solar Alliance, and the Paris Agreement.

Biomass, such as firewood, dung, and crop residues, is the primary source of energy for most households in rural India.
