The monsoon winds are affected due to the various factors that affect the monsoons. These include:
# The difference in heating and cooling rates of land and water. Between the two, land gets hotter and colder faster.
# The position change of inter-tropical convergence zone.
# The high-pressure area that gets formed at the east of Madagascar.
# The rapid heating of Tibetan Plateau during in summer causing high pressure an intense vertical air currents above the plateau.
