Correct Answer: Loo


Solution : The correct option is Loo.

Loo is a term used in India to describe strong, hot, and dry winds that typically occur during the summer season, primarily in the northern and northwestern regions of the country. Loo winds can significantly raise the temperature in the affected areas. During a Loo, the temperature can soar to well above 40 degrees Celsius, making the weather extremely uncomfortable and even dangerous for outdoor activities. They are most prevalent in May and June.
