- 7. Several factors together shape India's climate. Latitude is important because the Tropic of Cancer passes through the middle of the country, so the south lies in the tropics and is warmer, while the north is a little cooler. Altitude affects temperature, as places at higher elevations, like the mountains, are cooler than the plains. Air pressure and winds, especially the seasonal monsoon winds, control the rainfall and the change of seasons. Distance from the sea matters too: coastal areas enjoy a milder, more moderate climate because the sea evens out temperatures, while inland areas have more extreme heat and cold. Finally, relief features such as mountains influence climate by blocking winds and causing rainfall on their windward sides. Together, these factors create the varied climate found across India.
