The year can be divided into the following four seasons on basis of the monsoon variations : 

(a) The Cold Weather Season - December to February. 

(b) The Hot Weather Season - March to May. 

(c) Advancing Monsoon Season - June to September. 

(d) The Retreating Monsoon - September, October and November. 

(a) The Cold Weather Season - December to February : The cold weather persists from December to February throughout India. January is the coldest month. Temperature varies from 100 C to 250 C. Temperature is between 100 C to 150 C in northern plains and 250 C in southern parts of the country. There is high pressure in northern plains due to the cold climatic conditions. The cold dry winds blow from the high pressure towards the low pressure equatorial regions. These winds are north-westerly in the Ganga Plains and north-west part of India which receives rainfall from the Mediterranean cyclones. Second is the coast of Tamil Nadu which gets rainfall in winter because of the north-east winds which blow over the Bay of Bengal. But in other parts of country, the weather is pleasant with clear skies and bright sunshine.
