Detailed explanation-1: -The source of these winds is usually tropical air masses located over or near the Indian Ocean, which are picked up by the prevailing southwest winds. As these humid air masses travel inland, they come in contact with India’s hot land surface, causing the moisture to condense into clouds and eventually rain.
Detailed explanation-2: -(iv) As winds blow from high pressure areas to low pressure areas, it blows from sea to land in summers & from land to sea in winters. Thus the monsoon winds in summer come from sea but the retreating monsoon winds come from land.
Detailed explanation-3: -Summer monsoon winds blow over warm oceans and bring rainfall to India because it carries abundant moisture. Apart from the extreme northwest, these winds cover the entire country in a month.
