Solution
The southwest monsoon winds are largely responsible for India's rainfall. The monsoon season lasts from June to September. During October-November, with the apparent movement of the sun towards the south, the monsoon trough or the low-pressure trough over the northern plains, becomes weaker. As a result, the southwest monsoon winds weaken and start withdrawing gradually Therefore, the majority of the country's rainfall is concentrated over a few months.
