Solution
Most of the Asia receives maximum rainfall in the months of April, May, and June. In summers, most of Asia has an average temperature of about 32°C. The hot air over the land rises and creates an area of low pressure. There is high pressure in the surrounding seas and oceans. So there is the movement of warm moisture-laden onshore winds which are called monsoons. These winds cause heavy rainfall.
