Summer monsoon

The summer monsoon refers to a seasonal weather pattern characterized by heavy rainfall, primarily affecting regions like South Asia. It occurs when warm, moist air from the oceans moves over land due to temperature differences. As the land heats up, it creates low pressure, drawing in cooler air and moisture from the ocean. This results in significant rainfall over several months, typically from June to September. The summer monsoon is crucial for agriculture, replenishing water supplies and supporting ecosystems, but it can also lead to flooding and other challenges if the rains are excessive.
