Describe the main features of the
Advancing Monsoon or the Rainy
season or the South west
Monsoon.
Answers
Answer:
The features of advancing monsoon season are:
The low-pressure condition over the northern plains intensifies at this time.
It attracts the trade winds from the southern hemisphere.
These south-east trade winds cross the equator and blow in a south-westerly direction to enter the Indian peninsula as the south-west monsoon.
These winds bring abundant moisture to the subcontinent.
The monsoon winds cover the country in about a month; barring the extreme north-west.
The windward side of the Western Ghats receives very heavy rainfall, early in the rainy season.
The Deccan Plateau and parts of Madhya Pradesh also receive some rain, in spite of lying in the rain shadow area.
The north-eastern part of the country receives the maximum rainfall of this season.
