Detailed explanation-1: -Every year, the rain-filled monsoon winds cause the nearby Bangali River to overflow its banks. 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -India actually has two monsoons – the southwest monsoon and the northeast monsoon. The southwest monsoon, which is the main monsoon, comes in from the sea and starts making its way up India’s west coast in early June. The northeast monsoon affects India’s east coast during November and December.
