Hot dry winds called ‘loo’ blow in the summer season in which of these divisions?

Kashmir
Jammu
Ladakh
All of these

The correct answer is: D. All of these.

The hot dry winds called ‘loo’ blow in the summer season in all of the divisions of Jammu and Kashmir. They are most common in the plains of Jammu and the Pir Panjal region, but can also be felt in the Kashmir Valley and Ladakh.

The loo is a type of föhn wind that is caused by the difference in temperature between the land and the sea. In the summer, the land heats up more quickly than the sea, and this creates an area of low pressure over the land. The air from the sea then flows in to fill this low pressure area, and as it does so, it is forced to rise. As it rises, it cools and the water vapor in it condenses to form clouds. These clouds then release their rain over the sea, leaving the land dry and hot.

The loo can be very dangerous, as it can cause heatstroke and dehydration. It is important to stay indoors and avoid strenuous activity when the loo is blowing.
