Answer:

Cause for the Southwest monsoon to blow towards India.

Explanation:

Every year, during the first week of June, Kerala is hit by a vast area of roiling grey clouds that have advanced from the Arabian Sea. The impact is accompanied by rumbling booms of thunder. The state soon experiences sheeting rain as the southwest monsoon moves through it.

The southwest or summer monsoon travels across India from June to September, drenching the nation with rain. Between 70% and 90% of India's annual rainfall falls during this time. The retreating monsoon, also known as the Northeast monsoon, arrives in the cooler months of October to November and provides rain to Tamil Nadu and the eastern coast of India.

The Indian summer monsoon was thought to be caused by the differential heating of land and water, according to the "classical" idea put forward by Sir Edmund Halley in the 17th century. He claimed that throughout the summer, the Asian landmass heated up and created a low-pressure system, which attracted winds from the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, which attracted winds from high-pressure systems since they were at lower temperatures.

The Indian monsoon is studied by Arindam Chakraborty, a professor at the Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences in the Indian Institute of Science. "But the classical theory does not explain how or why monsoons are unique to certain places on Earth like India," he said. It also doesn't explain why the monsoon comes on suddenly.
