Detailed explanation-1: -Retreating monsoon season commences with the beginning of the withdrawal of the south-west monsoon [mid-September – November] and lasts till early January.
Detailed explanation-2: -Such changes in the patterns of atmospheric pressure causes Southwest monsoons to withdraw. Hence, this period is known as the season of retreating Southwest monsoons. By the end of October, these winds retreat from most of northern India because of low temperature and low pressure.
Detailed explanation-3: -Meteorologists (and Australia and most of the temperate countries in the southern hemisphere) use a definition based on Gregorian calendar months, with autumn being September, October, and November in the northern hemisphere, and March, April, and May in the southern hemisphere.
