The monsoon type of climate is marked by complete reversal of wind system according to seasons.The summer period is marked by the southwest monsoons while the winter period is marked by northeast monsoons.The points of difference between are as follows:-
1)The southwest monsoons blow in a south westerly direction to the mainland of India from June to September.While, the northwest monsoons blow in a north easterly direction across India from mid November to February.
2)The south west monsoons are seasonal winds influenced by differential heating of land and water.The south easterly trade winds are attracted by low pressure over northern India.They are deflected to southwest after crossing the equator due to the Cariolis force while the northeast monsoons are the northeasterly trade winds.
3)The southwest monsoons are onshore winds as they blow from the Indian ocean as Arabian sea and Bay of Bengal branches to land areas.Hence, they are moisture laden winds and bring heavy rainfall.While the northeast monsoons are offshore winds as they blow from land to sea.As a result they are mostly devoid of moisture.
4)The southwest monsoons are responsible for the bulk of the rainfall in India(75% to 90%). They make Mawsynram in Meghalaya the rainiest station in the world.During the northeast monsoons some rainfall is brought by occasional western disturbances in north India.The northeast monsoons provide some rainfall in eastern coastal plain of Tamil Nadu after passing over Bay of Bengal.
5)The southwest monsoons are warm winds.While the northeast monsoons are cold winds.
