Image result for what is the direction of Monsoon winds in winter.
Monsoon winds blow from cold to warm regions because cold air takes up more space than warm air. So, monsoons blow from the land toward the sea in winter and from the sea toward land in the summer. India's winters are hot and dry. The monsoon winds blow from the northeast and carry little moisture.
