Climate of West Bengal

The climate of West Bengal is tropical. The land is mostly plains, except for the northern region, which is a part of Himalayan Mountain Range. Darjeeling, in the north is well known for its high quality teas. At the south of West Bengal the Sundarbans delta on Ganga (aka Ganges Delta) is a part of the world’s largest river delta (other portions lie in Bangladesh). This region is famous for the Bengal Tiger.

The climate of this region is controlled by The Monsoon. The climate allows the weather to remain dry during the winter and wet during summer. Due to climate and soil condition for Ganges Delta, this region is highly vegetated with tropical plants and considered one of the most fertile lands in the world.
