\nStatement D is not correct regarding South India’s climate.
\n<\/section>\n
\nSouth India, being a peninsula largely surrounded by the sea and located closer to the equator, experiences a climate moderated by maritime influence, unlike the extreme continental climate found in many parts of North India.
\n<\/section>\n
\nA) Diurnal range of temperature is the difference between the maximum and minimum temperature in a day. This range is generally less in coastal areas and peninsular regions like South India due to the moderating effect of the sea. This statement is correct.
\nB) Annual range of temperature is the difference between the temperatures of the hottest and coldest months. This range is also generally less in South India compared to North India due to the maritime influence and tropical location. This statement is correct.
\nC) Due to its location in tropical and subtropical zones and proximity to the equator, temperatures in South India are generally high throughout the year, with less pronounced seasonal variations in temperature compared to North India. This statement is correct.
\nD) Extreme climatic conditions, such as very high heat waves, severe cold waves, or drastic seasonal temperature fluctuations experienced in parts of North India (continental climate), are generally not found in South India due to the moderating effect of the surrounding seas. Thus, the statement “Extreme climatic conditions are found” in South India is not correct.
