Explain the uneven distribution of rainfall in India.
The following are the reasons for the uneven distribution of rainfall in India:
Relief and topography- The windward side of mountains and hills receive more rainfall than leeward side.
Latitudinal extent- The tropical and coastal regions and plains receive more rainfall than the plateau and desert regions in the interior.
The vagaries of the monsoon- The unpredictability of the monsoon alongwith phenomena like monsoon troughs and depressions lead to uneven distribution of rainfall.
