| Climate and Rainfall
The state has an equable climate particularly in those areas which are
hilly or a high plateau. Climate is the chief attraction of the capital
city, Bangalore. It is known as the air conditioned city. Bangalore receives
its quota of rainfall from both the winter and summer monsoons. Sometimes
its share of winter rain, from October to January, may be greater. Thus,
the dust is laid and the atmosphere is kept invigoratingly cool or agreeably
warm. The climate is pleasant throughout the year.
The average rainfall in the Ghat region is 254 cm while
parts of the Kanara coast account for 762 cm. The rainfall in the plains
is substantially less and some areas in the north, south and east sometimes
face the problem of drought as the rainfall is not adequate or even totally
deficient.
