Question

differentiate between advancing monsoon and retreating monsoon

Answer 1

The Advancing Monsoon -

• June to September is the period of this season.

• The winds reverse their direction and begin to blow from south-west to north-east.

• They blow from sea to land and have a lot of moisture.

• It is the season of monsoon rain.

• The winds enter the southern tip of India in the first week of June and gradually move northwards and spread over the whole country within a month.

The Retreating Monsoon -

• The monsoon winds start retreating from the Northern Plains when the temperature begins to fall in the months, October and November.

• They retreat to the whole country by the end of November.

• The weather in north India becomes clear, but high humidity makes it very oppressive and sultry.

• The eastern coast of south India receives rainfall during this season by tropical cyclones coming from the Bay of Bengal.
