Question

What do you understand by retreating monsoons?

Answer 1

By the end of September, the Indian subcontinent starts to. cool and monsoon winds become dry. Since the air above the land is cold and heavy, a high-pressure region is created over land. The air above the surrounding water bodies are relatively warmer and have low-pressure region. Now, the dry monsoon winds reverse their direction and start blowing from the land to the sea. These winds are called retreating monsoons.
