Detailed explanation-1: -From here, this branch splits into two under the influence of the Himalayas and the thermal low in north-west India. One branch moves westward along the Ganga plains reaching as far as the Punjab plains.
Detailed explanation-2: -From January to October, the current is northward flowing, and the clockwise circulation pattern is called the “East Indian Current". The Bay of Bengal monsoon moves in a northwest direction striking the Nicobar Islands, and the Andaman Islands first end of May, then coast of Mainland India by end of June.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Bay of Bengal Branch of South West Monsoon, after striking the West Bengal coast, goes up the Ganga valley and covers Bihar, UP, and reaches the Aravalli hills (Rajasthan), where it meets with the Arabian Sea Branch (Monsoon Lul) and finally, starts to retreat.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Bay of Bengal Branch of Southwest Monsoon flows over the Bay of Bengal heading towards north-east India and Bengal, picking up more moisture from the Bay of Bengal. The winds arrive at the Eastern Himalayas with large amounts of rain.
