Question

Explain the retreating monsoon season.

Answer 1

Instructions:

• Explain when the retreating monsoon season begins.
• Explain what causes the retreating monsoon season.

Answer:

• The retreating monsoon season begins between the months of October and November.
• As the land begins to cool down, the low-pressure zone leaves the Indian subcontinent. This causes the monsoon winds to start withdrawing from the Indian subcontinent.
• As a result, the northeast trade winds are once again re-established. This reversal of monsoon winds and the re-establishment of northeast trade winds mark the beginning of the retreating monsoon season.
