Mango showers
Winter rains
Retreating monsoons
Coastal showers
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: A) Mango showers
Mango showers are the pre-monsoon showers experienced in parts of Karnataka. They are caused by the southwest monsoon winds that blow from the Arabian Sea. The mango showers are usually light and occur in the months of April and May. They are important for the growth of mango trees, which are a major crop in Karnataka.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Winter rains are the rains that occur in the winter months of December, January, and February. They are caused by the northeast monsoon winds that blow from the Bay of Bengal.
- Retreating monsoons are the rains that occur in the months of September and October. They are caused by the southwest monsoon winds that are retreating back to the Arabian Sea.
- Coastal showers are the rains that occur along the coast of Karnataka. They are caused by the sea breeze that blows from the sea to the land.
