Detailed Solution

The above statement is correct. During summer, there is a low-pressure region in the northern regions of India, especially the Himalayas. The Sun moves towards the north during summer. This causes the temperature in some regions to rise compared to other areas. This is referred to as local heating, causing a conventional air rise. Thunderstorms are formed as a result of this movement. The thunderstorms are accompanied by light to heavy rainfall called pre-monsoon showers. They are helpful in the ripening of mangoes. This phenomenon is mainly observed in the southern and southeastern parts of Asia. They have several local names, like Cherry Blossom or Coffee showers in Karnataka and Kal Baisakhi in West Bengal. They are also known as Monsoon showers in Kerala.
