Why can both Cwa and Aw occur in monsoonal parts of India?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because temperature thresholds and altitude can place similar monsoonal rainfall into different main groups
Cwa and Aw may both have seasonal monsoonal rainfall, but their thermal criteria differ. Cwa belongs to the temperate C group and commonly occurs where winter temperatures are lower, while Aw belongs to the tropical A group, requiring every month to remain sufficiently warm. Altitude and latitude can therefore produce different codes.
