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.
