Koppen’s classification system uses temperature and precipitation to define climate zones. Cwg represents a humid subtropical climate. ‘C’ denotes warm temperate climates, ‘w’ indicates dry winters, and ‘g’ specifically refers to the Gangetic Plain, signifying a climate characterized by hot, dry summers before the monsoon arrives, followed by a rainy season, and then cool, dry winters. This accurately describes the climate of the vast Northern Plains of India.
