- Summer (Southwest Monsoon Winds): From June to September, the winds blow from the southwest, bringing moisture from the Indian Ocean. These winds cause heavy rainfall across much of India, especially along the west coast and northeastern regions.
- Winter (Northeast Monsoon Winds): From October to February, the winds reverse and blow from the northeast, bringing dry, cool air from the Tibetan Plateau and central Asia. This leads to dry conditions in most parts of India, except in the southeastern coastal regions, which receive rainfall from the northeast monsoon.
This reversal of wind direction is the key characteristic of the Indian Monsoon and drives seasonal weather patterns, influencing agriculture, climate, and water resources.
