Monsoon season

Monsoon season refers to a period of heavy rainfall that occurs due to seasonal wind patterns, primarily in South Asia. During this time, moist air masses from the ocean are driven inland by shifts in wind direction, leading to significant precipitation. It typically lasts several months and is vital for agriculture, replenishing water supplies. While essential, monsoons can also cause flooding and related hazards. The timing and intensity vary annually, influenced by atmospheric and oceanic conditions such as the Indian Ocean Dipole and El Niño. Overall, monsoon season plays a crucial role in shaping regional climates and economies.
