Discuss the major features of retreating monsoon
Answers
I) 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. This is gradually replaced by a high-pressure system. The southwest monsoon winds weaken and start withdrawing gradually.
II) By the beginning of October, the monsoon withdraws from the Northern Plains.
III) The months of October-November form a period of transition from hot rainy season to dry winter conditions.
IV) The retreat of the monsoon is marked by clear skies and rise in temperature.
V) While day temperatures are high, nights are cool & pleasant. The land is still moist. Due to the conditions of high temperature and humidity, the weather becomes oppressive during the day. This is commonly known as 'October heat'.
VI) The low-pressure conditions, over northwestern India, get transferred to the Bay of Bengal by early November. This shoft is associated with the occurrence of cyclonic depressions, which originate over the Andaman Sea. These cyclones generally cross the eastern coast of India and cause heavy amd widespread rain. These tropical cyclones are often very destructive.
