Detailed explanation-1: -In the second half of October, the mercury begins to fall rapidly, particularly in northern India. The weather in the retreating monsoon is dry in north India but it is associated with rain in the eastern part of the Peninsula. Here, October and November are the rainiest months of the year.
Detailed explanation-2: -The oldest thermometers used are mercury in glass. Newer thermometers include non-mercury liquids in glass and digital and electronic devices that use sensors to measure temperature. Thermometers that check body temperature in the ear, across the forehead, or have a digital display do not contain mercury.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mercury is used in thermometers because It has a high coefficient of expansion so that even a small rise in temperature brings about sufficient expansion which can be detected in the capillary of the calibrated part of the thermometer.
