Key Points

  • Mango showers are pre-monsoon showers that occur in India and some other parts of Southeast Asia.
  • These showers usually occur from March to April and are important for the mango crop, hence the name.
  • Mango showers help in the ripening of mangoes and also reduce the temperature, providing relief from the summer heat.
  • They are also referred to as Blossom Showers in Kerala and Coastal Karnataka.

Additional Information

  • Pre-monsoon showers are crucial for various crops, not just mangoes, as they provide necessary moisture before the onset of the main monsoon season.
  • These showers are caused by the convectional rise of moisture-laden air due to the high summer temperatures.
  • They are common in the states of Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu.
  • The onset and intensity of mango showers can vary each year based on climatic conditions.
