The temperature of India

India can be divided mainly into four climatic zones namely Alpine, Subtropical, Tropical and Arid.

Alpine Zone: This climate zone can be experienced in the high altitudes of the Himalayas. In this region there are high climatic fluctuations due to steep altitude variations. Different types of climatic zones can be experienced in this region.

Sub Tropical: This zone is prevalent in most of the northern part of India and is typical Indian climate. Summers are hot and wet while in winter the temperature may drop down to freezing point higher north. Rainfall is common in the summer season whereas winters are cold and dry.

Tropical: This can be divided into two sub types viz, Tropical Wet Monsoons and Tropical Dry. The characteristics of Tropical Wet Monsoon include average temperature, which normally does not fall below 18 C, accompanied by average to high rainfall. In Tropical Dry type rainfall is not so common.

Arid: High temperature and low rainfall are marked features of this climatic zone. It is prevalent in the western part of the country and includes a large part of Rajasthan. The temperature in this zone may climb up to as high as 50 C in summer.

This presentation will serve as a great teaching tool. Use it as a standalone map, for a teaching class or to aid a quiz presentation.

Simply "ungroup" the image and then you can use this useful tool to indicate locations, shopping malls, places of tourist interest (if you are a travel operator).

You can customize this map along with other data you wish to present. For example if you are presenting the population growth of certain states in India, you may highlight only those states.

You can pinpoint the location of small towns or villages that are not available on existing maps and can even pull out and separate the states you require to give even greater emphasis to your presentations.
