\nRains caused by thunderstorms during the hot weather season in Karnataka are called Mango showers.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Mango showers are pre-monsoon showers that occur in South India, particularly in Kerala, Karnataka, and Goa, during the hot weather season (April-May).
\n– These showers are important as they help in the ripening of mangoes and coffee blossoms in the region.
\n– They are caused by convective thunderstorms originating over peninsular India.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Kalbaisakhi (also known as Nor’westers) are violent thunderstorms that occur over Assam, West Bengal, Odisha, and Bihar in the pre-monsoon season.
\n– Loo is a hot and dry wind that blows across the northern plains of India during the summer months (May-June).
\n– “Cherry blossoms” refer to the flowers of cherry trees, particularly associated with Japan, and not a type of rain in India. However, sometimes pre-monsoon showers in parts of Karnataka and Kerala are called ‘Cherry Blossom showers’ or ‘Coffee showers’ because they are beneficial for coffee plantations. Mango showers is a more common term for these pre-monsoon rains in the region, specifically referring to their benefit for mangoes.
