The ‘loo,’ a hot and dry wind, can affect Punjab during:

The correct answer is: b) Summer months.

The ‘loo’ is a hot and dry wind that blows from the northwest during the summer months in Punjab. It can cause temperatures to rise to over 40 degrees Celsius and can lead to dehydration and heatstroke. The ‘loo’ is caused by a high-pressure system over the Himalayas that pushes hot air down into the plains of Punjab. The wind is often accompanied by dust storms and can cause respiratory problems.

The other options are incorrect because:

• The ‘loo’ does not affect Punjab during the winter months. The winter months in Punjab are mild and dry.
• The ‘loo’ does not affect Punjab during the monsoon season. The monsoon season in Punjab is from July to September and is characterized by heavy rains.
• The ‘loo’ does not affect Punjab throughout the year. The ‘loo’ is a seasonal wind that blows during the summer months.
