Southwest monsoon is the most significant features of the Indian climate. The onset of the southwest monsoon takes place normally over the southern tip of the country by the first week of June, advances along the konkan coast in early June and covers the whole country by 15 th June. The monsoon is influenced by global phenomenal like ElNino.
The sudden approach of monsoon wind over south India with lightning and thunder is termed as the ‛break’ or ‘burst of monsoon’. The monsoon wind strikes against the southern tip of Indian land mass and gets divided into two branches. They are as follows.
- The Arabian Sea Branch :
The Arabian sea branch of southwest monsoon gives heavy rainfall to the west coast of India as it is located in the windward side of the Western Ghats. The other part which advances towards north is obstructed by Himalayan Mountains and results in heavy rainfall in North. As Aravalli Mountain is located parallel to the wind direction, Rajasthan and western part do not get much rainfall from this branch.
- The Bay of Bengal Branch :
The Bay of Bengal branch moves towards the northeast India and Myanmar. This wind is trapped by a chain of mountains namely Garo, Khasi and Jaintia are mainly responsibile for the heaviest rainfall caused at Mawsynram located in Meghalaya. Later on, this wind travels towards west which results in decrease in rainfall from east to west. Over all about 75 % of Indian rainfall received from this monsoon.
