Solution

The correct option is A Loo
Loo is a strong, gusty, hot, and dry wind that blows during daytime over north and northwestern India. These winds raise the temperature of the region and exposure to these winds can even prove fatal. Dust storms lower the temperature and bring rain and cool breeze. Localised thunderstorms cause torrential rain, violent wind, and hailstorms. Kerala and Karnataka receive pre-monsoon showers which help in the ripening of mangoes, these bouts of rain are known as mango showers.
