Detailed explanation-1: -The retreating monsoon withdraws itself from North-West India to Bengal and then to South India.
Detailed explanation-2: -As the monsoon starts retreating towards the south, the pressure gradient becomes low. Local pressure conditions usually affect the wind flow during that time.
Detailed explanation-3: -In an advancing monsoon, the wind blows in the southwest direction, i.e., from sea to land, while in the case of a retreating monsoon, the wind blows from land to sea. The wind direction for Advancing Monsoon is towards North-East, whereas for Retreating Monsoon, the wind blows towards the South-West.
Detailed explanation-4: -Retreating monsoon is also known as the North East Monsoon. The term Retreating means withdrawal. Therefore, the term “retreating monsoon” refers to the withdrawal of south-west monsoon winds from the skies of north India during the months of October and November.
