Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -India actually has two monsoons – the southwest monsoon and the northeast monsoon. The southwest monsoon, which is the main monsoon, comes in from the sea and starts making its way up India’s west coast in early June. The northeast monsoon affects India’s east coast during November and December.
Detailed explanation-2: -It usually happens between April and September. As winter ends, warm, moist air from the southwest Indian Ocean blows toward countries like India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. The summer monsoon brings a humid climate and torrential rainfall to these areas. Monsoons always blow from cold to warm regions.
