Question

mention any 5 phenomenal features associated with southwest monsoon

Answer 1

The characteristics of southwest monsoon are :

• It occurs from June to September.
• The plains and desert considerably heat in summers which causes a low pressure area which is further filled by the winds of Indian ocean. These winds then move towards Himalayas which blocks the winds from going to Central Asiaand hence precipitation occurs.
• The development of monsoons takes place at both Arabain Sea and Bay of Bengal.
• Southwest monsoon accounts for more than 80% of the rainfall.
