Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Seasonal wind direction reversal occurs across the Indian subcontinent because there is a high-pressure system in the north of the Himalayas and a low-pressure area over the ocean to the south in winter. As a result, cold and dry winds blow from the Himalayan area to the sea.
Detailed explanation-2: -Monsoons typically occur in tropical areas. One area that monsoons impact greatly is India. In India monsoons create an entire season in which the winds reverse completely. The rainfall is a result of the convergence of wind flow from the Bay of Bengal and reverse winds from the South China Sea.
