Answer 1

Answer:

The following are the four main characteristics of the retreating monsoon:

1. During October and November, the south-west monsoon winds become weaker and start retreating.

2. The retreat of the monsoon is marked by clear skies and an increase in mercury level in the northern plains.

3. This increase in temperature along with high level of humidity is termed as ‘October heat’. 

4. At this time, the low pressure conditions shift to the Bay of Bengal giving rise to cyclonic depressions. These cyclonic depressions often result in the destruction of life and property generally on the eastern and southern coasts.

Most of the rainfall of the Coromandel Coast is derived from depressions and cyclones.
