Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. India and Southeast Asia depend on the summer monsoon.

Detailed explanation-2: -From June to September, the southwest or summer monsoon moves across India, bathing the country in rain – during this period, India receives 70%-90% of its annual rainfall.

Detailed explanation-3: -The southwest summer monsoon contributes the bulk of India’s rainfall. Consequently, almost all the geomorphic work by the rivers is carried out during the monsoon season in general and the monsoon floods in particular. Indian rivers are characterized by high average flood discharges and large temporal variability.
