Which of the following weather systems has the shortest duration of lifecycle?

  • A.Tropical Cyclones
  • B.Thunderstorms
  • C.Western Disturbance
  • D.Winter Monsoon

Answer: B

The shortest-lived system is the thunderstorm.

A single thunderstorm cell lives for about an hour, passing through its cumulus, mature and dissipating stages, and even organised multicell systems last only a few hours.

Tropical cyclones last from several days to two weeks, western disturbances take days to cross north India, and the winter (north-east) monsoon is a seasonal circulation lasting months.
