View question detailsDuring which months does the hot weather season generally occur?
Correct answer: B
In the Indian school geography classification, the hot weather season generally extends from March to May. During these months, temperatures rise after the cooler winter season and before the southwest monsoon brings widespread rain. The strength of heat is especially noticeable in the interior and northern parts of the country, although local conditions can create regional differences.
Option B is correct because it gives the usual three-month period, March, April and May. December to February refers broadly to the cold weather season, while June to September is the main rainy season. October to November is associated mainly with the retreating or post-monsoon period. The word generally is important because exact weather conditions can vary from place to place, but the standard seasonal answer remains March to May.
