The mean temperature in the Northern Plain is very low (10-15°C). in the Thar Desert, the night temperature falls below 0°C in winter. The coastal areas of India, however, hardly experience winter. Here temperatures range between 20 and 25°C.  Winter in India is predominantly dry. But parts of North India and Tamil Nadu experience rainfall during the winter month.
