In the month of June, monsoon winds start blowing towards the Indian subcontinent. This marks the beginning of the monsoon season. It is called the advancing monsoon or the rainy season.

This sudden onset of moisture-laden winds associated with violent thunder and lightning, is often termed the “burst” of the monsoon.
