Answer: C
Nor'westers are common in Assam and Bengal.
In the pre-monsoon months of April and May, violent thunderstorms with squalls, hail and heavy rain approach from the north-west over West Bengal, Odisha and Assam. They are called Nor'westers, Kalbaisakhi (the calamity of Baisakh) in Bengal, and Bordoisila in Assam, and their rain helps tea, jute and rice cultivation.
Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan have hot, dry winds (the loo) and dust storms in this season, and the Konkan and Goa coast gets its main rain from the south-west monsoon later.
