Solution

Two main characteristics of the Indian monsoon are:

  1. Seasonal Reversal of Winds: Winds change direction with the seasons, blowing from sea to land in summer (carrying rain) and from land to sea in winter (dry season).
  2. Uneven Distribution of Rainfall: The monsoon rainfall is not evenly distributed; certain areas, such as the Western Ghats and Northeastern states, receive a lot of rain, while others, such as Rajasthan, receive very little.
