Question

what is the wind direction along the east coast region that in pondicherry? it is from south west to northeast or southeast to northwest.

Answer 1

The wind direction is not the same throught the year.It changes from season to season.Over pondicherry, the wind will be from either west or southwest during southwest monsoon season,ie June to September.It will be from northeast or north during Northeast monsoon season,ie October to December.However,Sea breeze plays an important role as Pondicherry is a coastal station.When westerly winds are weak(particularly during south west monsoon season) sea breeze over rides and blows from the east in the afternoon timings on most of the days.During northeast monsoon season the sea breeze strengthens the already prevailing easterly winds.Thus easterly winds blow most of the days in a year particularly in the afternoon.However the seabreeze can penetrate only upto a maximum of 20 kms inside the land.
