What is another name for Kal Baisakhi?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Norwester

Kal Baisakhi is the local name commonly used for violent pre-monsoon thunderstorms in eastern India, especially in areas such as West Bengal and nearby regions. These storms generally occur during the hot season before the southwest monsoon arrives. They may bring strong winds, lightning, heavy showers, and sometimes hail. Besides bringing sudden relief from heat, they can also damage crops, houses, and transport because of their intensity.

Option A is correct because Kal Baisakhi is also called the Norwester. The English name describes the usual direction from which these storms approach, while the regional name describes the same seasonal weather event. Loo is a hot, dry wind associated mainly with northern and northwestern India, not a thunderstorm. Snowfall and western disturbances are different phenomena. Thus the important memory pair is Kal Baisakhi = Norwester, linked with pre-monsoon storms of eastern India.
