A monsoon arises
due to a difference in temperatures between a landmass and the adjacent ocean.
The seasonal reversal in wind direction during a year is called the monsoon.
The wet monsoon begins when winds bring cooler, more humid air from above
the oceans to the land.
The monsoons
travel from the sea to the land in summers and from land to the sea during
winters, hence, are a double system of seasonal winds. Historically the
monsoons have been very important because these winds were used by traders
and seafarers to move from place to place.
Indian
monsoon is the most prominent of the world's monsoon systems, which
primarily affects India and its surrounding water bodies. It blows from the
northeast during cooler months and reverses direction to blow from the
southwest during the warmest months of the year.
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.
The monsoon
is one of the most important natural phenomena for India and the world. It
brings life-giving rains that nourish crops, replenish water sources, and bring
relief from droughts.
It boosts
the agriculture in India. In fact, the whole agriculture of the country depends
on the monsoons. It recharges the groundwater level of the country. It
replenishes all the water reservoirs.
Lush green
avenues in and around your house become crowded during Monsoon. Once it begins
to rain, colors get brighter and the air freshens up. It's hard to resist the
temptation of taking a casual evening stroll.
