Detailed explanation-1: -Monsoon usually refers to the winds of the Indian Ocean and South Asia, which often bring heavy rains.
Detailed explanation-2: -These winds carry moisture from the indian Ocean. This brings heavy rainfall between the months of June to September. The south-east trade winds become the south-west monsoon because these trade winds cross the equator and start blowing in the south-west direction under the influence of coriolis force.
Detailed explanation-3: -The rainfall is a result of the convergence of wind flow from the Bay of Bengal and reverse winds from the South China Sea. The onset of the monsoon occurs over the Bay of Bengal in May, arriving at the Indian Peninsula by June, and then the winds move towards the South China Sea.
