Question

Which of the following is a 'Loo' wind affected region of India?

• A. Thar Desert
• B. Sundarbans Delta
• C. Meghalaya Plateau
• D. Eastem Coast

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Thar Desert

The 'Loo' is a hot, dry wind that primarily affects the Thar Desert region of India, especially during the summer months. The Loo is a strong, dusty, gusty, hot and dry summer wind from the west which blows over the Indo-Gangetic Plain region of North India and Pakistan. It is especially strong in the months of May and June. Due to its very high temperatures (45 °C–50 °C or 115 °F–120 °F), exposure to it often leads to fatal heatstrokes.
