Question 164
XE-HMCQ2 marksNeeds review
During the Indian summer monsoon season, depressions do not intensify to tropical cyclones because
P: Indian sub-continent is very hot and large land-sea temperature difference pulls depressions quickly to land before they can intensify into cyclones.
Q: southwesterly winds at low level are not conducive for the formation of tropical cyclones.
R: SST cooling due to strong monsoonal winds prevents cyclone formation.
S: strong zonal wind shear during the monsoon season does not allow warm core formation.
