Detailed explanation-1: -A monsoon is a seasonal change in the direction of the prevailing, or strongest, winds of a region. Monsoons cause wet and dry seasons throughout much of the tropics. Monsoons are most often associated with the Indian Ocean. Monsoons always blow from cold to warm regions.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are two types of monsoon winds. These are the Southwest monsoon and the Northeast monsoon winds.
Detailed explanation-3: -Summer monsoon winds blow during the Southwest monsoon season bring rainfall to India.
Detailed explanation-4: -Summer monsoons happen when large land masses heat up. The heat from these land masses causes the air atop the land mass to heat up and rise through the atmosphere. This creates an area of low pressure that pulls in cooler moist air, creating the right conditions for the heavy rains that summer monsoons are famous.
