ITCZ Position Over India in July
The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is a global belt of low atmospheric pressure found near the equator. Its latitudinal position shifts seasonally, generally following the sun's overhead position.
During the Northern Hemisphere's summer, specifically in July, the ITCZ moves significantly northward due to increased solar heating.
July ITCZ Latitude Over Indian Region
Over the Indian subcontinent, the mean latitudinal position of the ITCZ during July is typically found between $25^\circ \text{ N}$ and $28^\circ \text{ N}$. This northward displacement is a key feature associated with the onset and strengthening of the summer monsoon over India.
Therefore, the correct latitudinal range is $25 - 28^\circ \text{ N}$.
