monsoons
D
tornadoes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Monsoons cause wet and dry seasons throughout the tropic and are most regularly associated with the Indian Ocean. In South Asia, the monsoon season runs from June through September. Monsoons always blow from cold to warm areas. The summer and the winter monsoons determine the climate for most of India and South Asia.

Detailed explanation-2: -It usually happens between April and September. As winter ends, warm, moist air from the southwest Indian Ocean blows toward countries like India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. The summer monsoon brings a humid climate and torrential rainfall to these areas. India and Southeast Asia depend on the summer monsoon.

Detailed explanation-3: -The monsoon is vital for agriculture and therefore for the livelihoods of millions of farmers and for food security in the poor region of around two billion people. But it brings destruction every year in landslides and floods.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: Monsoon is historically known as a seasonal reversal wind followed by subsequent precipitation shifts but is now used to characterize seasonal changes in air circulation and precipitation correlated with the asymmetric heating of land and sea.

Detailed explanation-5: -This phenomenon is most associated with the Indian Ocean where its effects greatly impact South Asian countries. The summer monsoon, which occurs between April and September, brings the wet season. Warm, moist air from the Indian Ocean moves inland and brings heavy rainfall and a humid climate.
