In which part of Madhya Pradesh annual variation in temperature is maximum?

The correct answer is (C) Northern.

• The northern region of Madhya Pradesh, specifically districts like Gwalior, Morena, Bhind, and Datia, experiences the highest annual temperature variation. This is primarily due to its continental location, far from the moderating influence of any large water body, and the presence of arid landscape.
• In this region, the climate is characterized by extreme heat during summer months and significantly low temperatures during winter, leading to a high thermal range. The lack of cloud cover and the proximity to the Thar Desert further exacerbate this diurnal and annual fluctuation.
• Eastern Madhya Pradesh typically experiences a moist tropical climate with relatively moderate variations, while Southern and Western parts are influenced by the Vindhyan ranges and the Arabian Sea monsoon tracks, which keep the annual thermal range more balanced compared to the northern plains.
