In India, the tropical Savannah (Aw) type of climate, according to Köppen's classification, prevails largely in the Peninsular plateau region [1]. This climatic zone covers a significant portion of the Deccan Plateau, extending across states such as Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha [1]. The Aw climate is characterized by distinct wet and dry seasons, with rainfall primarily occurring during the southwest monsoon (July to September) and a marked dry winter period [3]. In contrast, the Rajasthan desert region is classified under arid (BWhw) or semi-arid (BShw) types. The Jammu and Kashmir region experiences a polar (E) or mountain climate, while the North-Eastern region is predominantly characterized by a humid subtropical climate with cold winters (Dfc) or tropical monsoon (Amw) in specific southern pockets [1].
