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: -The rainfall is a result of the convergence of wind flow from the Bay of Bengal and reverse winds from the South China Sea. The onset of the monsoon occurs over the Bay of Bengal in May, arriving at the Indian Peninsula by June, and then the winds move towards the South China Sea.
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.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Short Answer: A monsoon is a shift in winds that often causes a very rainy season or a very dry season. Although monsoons are usually associated with parts of Asia, they can happen in many tropical and subtropical regions – including several locations in the United States.
Detailed explanation-5: -The floods hit during the south Asian monsoon, which typically brings seasonal rains to the Indian subcontinent between June and September.
