Detailed explanation-1: -During the months of October-November, the south-west monsoon winds become weaker and start to retreat from the skies of North India. This phase of the monsoon is known as the retreating monsoon.
Detailed explanation-2: -The transition from the rainy season to the dry winter conditions takes place during the months of October-November. South-west monsoon winds become weak and start withdrawing. By the beginning of October, the monsoon withdrew from the Northern Plains. Winter in India lasts from December to February.
Detailed explanation-3: -During the season of the retreating monsoons, winds move back from the mainland to the Bay of Bengal. The southern parts of India, particularly Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, receive rainfall in this season.
Detailed explanation-4: -This season is marked by clear skies and a rise in temperature. The land is still moist. Owing to the conditions of high temperatures (around 25°C) and humidity, the weather becomes rather oppressive and unbearable. This is commonly known as the ‘October heat’ or ‘Kwar ki Umas’.
