Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The winter monsoons have dry air, and the temperature is cooler. This monsoon offers relief to the people from the endless rains. Winter monsoons might bring drier air and high winds. Winter monsoons are mostly less powerful and destructive than summer monsoons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Summer monsoons have a dominant westerly component and a strong tendency to converge, rise, and produce rain. Winter monsoons have a dominant easterly component and a strong tendency to diverge, subside, and cause drought.

Detailed explanation-3: -The warmer sea air rises, and the cooler air blows from the land to the sea to take its place. This is the winter monsoon. Because the winds coming from dry land carry little water, the monsoon region has a dry winter. Most summer monsoons come from the west, and most winter monsoons come from the east.

Detailed explanation-4: -These winds carry moisture and are known as the monsoon winds. In summers in India, monsoon winds generate from the southwest region and carry water from the Indian Ocean. In winters in India, the direction of the wind gets reversed and it flows from the colder land in the northwest region, to the oceans.
