Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: A fall of minimum temperature between \(6\text{--}8^\circ\text{C}\) during night is termed as cold wave.
Statement II: A fall of minimum temperature more than \(8^\circ\text{C}\) is termed as severe cold wave.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
• C. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
• D. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Hint:

In Indian agrometeorological exams, look for standard temperature departure thresholds:
Cold wave: Deviation of \(-6^\circ\text{C}\) to \(-8^\circ\text{C}\) from normal.
Severe cold wave: Deviation of more than \(-8^\circ\text{C}\) from normal.
