Sailors sailing on
ships out of the Arabian Sea were led on a north-east course by the monsoon
winds. Similarly, in June, it produced a wind that caused cool dry air between
October and November to blow from the Himalayas to across the Arabian Sea
towards Africa. Because of this, merchants sailing from the west could make a
round trip to India in the same year. Likewise, Arabs set sail in the Indian
Ocean using the monsoon winds to guide them. The Portuguese sailed such that
they reached India before the southwest monsoon after the northeast monsoon
began.
