Climate Influences and Monsoon Patterns

The video tutorial explains the factors affecting the climate of a region, including distance from the equator, distance from the sea, and altitude. It highlights how proximity to the equator results in warmer climates, while areas further away are cooler. The influence of the sea is discussed, noting that coastal areas have stable climates due to land and sea breezes, whereas inland areas experience more variation. Altitude is another factor, with higher places being cooler. Additionally, the video covers the impact of southwest and northeast monsoon winds on India's climate.
