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: -Monsoons dominate India’s climate. Monsoons are strong, often violent winds that change direction with the season. Monsoon winds blow from cold to warm regions because cold air takes up more space than warm air. So, monsoons blow from the land toward the sea in winter and from the sea toward land in the summer.
Detailed explanation-3: -The rainfall is exceedingly intense in intensity. Monsoons provide rain for a few days and then dry out for a few days. This is referred to as the wet and dry spells, and these days of no rain are referred to as the monsoon break.
Detailed explanation-4: -While often thought of as long-term heavy rain over a specific area, a monsoon is actually the name for a seasonal change in the direction of the prevailing winds. It can bring either extremely wet or extremely dry weather to an area.
