Question

Monsoon withdraws from the Northern plains by the _______.

• A. Beginning of October
• B. Beginning of June
• C. End of February
• D. End of August

Answer 1

The correct option is A Beginning of October

During October-November, with the apparent movement of the sun towards the south, the monsoon trough or the low-pressure trough over the northern plains becomes weaker. This is gradually replaced by a high-pressure system. The south-west monsoon winds weaken and start withdrawing gradually. By the beginning of October, the monsoon withdraws from the Northern Plains.
