With increased humidity and clouds during monsoon season, what can be experienced compared to hot weather?

Correct answer: Some heat relief but humidity can increase

The direct answer is Option A: some relief from heat may occur, but humidity can increase and cause discomfort. During the monsoon, clouds block part of the incoming sunlight and rainfall cools the land and air. Therefore, the temperature may fall compared with the hottest summer days. However, the air contains much more water vapour. High humidity slows the evaporation of sweat from the skin, so the body loses heat less efficiently and the weather can feel sticky or oppressive. Option A is correct because it includes both effects: reduced heat and increased humid discomfort. Option B is wrong because a complete cold wave is an extreme winter condition, not the normal result of monsoon humidity. Option C is wrong because permanent frost requires freezing conditions, which are not produced by the warm rainy season in most of India. Option D is wrong because it says only that dust storms may be absent; that is not the main experience asked about and does not mention humidity or heat relief. The word “may” matters: rain often cools the air, but every rainy period does not feel cold. Exam cue: monsoon weather can be cooler yet more uncomfortable because humidity is high.
