what will happen if monsoon season stay for longer period of time? No spam pls need full ans.. I will mark as brinly if its correct

While often thought of as long-term heavy rain over a specific area, a monsoon is actually the name for a seasonal change in the direction of the prevailing winds. It can bring either extremely wet or extremely dry weather to an area.
Like hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones, monsoons are a product of tropical latitudes – especially where a large land mass is close to warm waters. While those weather events measure their lifespans in days or weeks, monsoons measure their lifespans over the course of entire seasons. The North American monsoon season in the southwest United States and northwest Mexico runs from June 15 to September 30.
Monsoon seasons are generally classified as either summer or winter monsoons depending on whether the prevailing winds blow from the coast (summer) or from the interior (winter) of a continent. Summer monsoons are the weather phenomenon that is most commonly associated with the term “monsoon,” with heavy long-lasting rains.
Winter monsoons are less well-known because they generally do not bring major weather conditions. However, they blow a lot of dry air from the interior of a continent that can bring about drought, water shortages and crop failures.
Summer monsoons happen when large land masses heat up. The heat from these land masses causes the air atop the land mass to heat up and rise through the atmosphere. This creates an area of low pressure that pulls in cooler moist air, creating the right conditions for the heavy rains that summer monsoons are famous.
Winter monsoons are the reverse; water off the shore of a land mass heats up and rises, creating an area of low pressure that pulls in dry air from over the land mass down towards the water.
Because monsoons occur in the tropics, many of the places that are affected are both densely populated and considered to be still-developing countries that often have high levels of inequity and poverty. Summer monsoons can bring heavy rains that destroy homes, damage infrastructure, wash away crops and destroy Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) infrastructure. During winter monsoons, dry weather can lead to drought and crop failures from lack of moisture. As a result, people who are already vulnerable because of their socio-economic status, who are experiencing poverty or homelessness, or who are otherwise vulnerable are disproportionately affected by monsoons.

Answer:
Monsoons produce the very wet summers and dry winters that occur on nearly all of the tropical continents. A monsoon is not a storm like a hurricane or a summer thunderstorm, but a much larger pattern of winds and rain that spans a large geographic area – a continent or even the entire globe.
Weather and climate are very different in the tropics and mid-latitudes, and it is not just a matter of the tropics being warmer. In Europe, North America, and other mid-latitude regions, temperatures undergo large changes over the seasonal cycle; weather events in these regions last a few days as high- and low-pressure systems drift slowly eastward, rearranging the locations of warmer and colder air masses as they go. This might make it cool and rainy one day and warm and sunny the next. In contrast, tropical temperatures don’t change much throughout the year. The seasonal cycle over tropical continents is marked by an oscillation between dry and wet periods brought about by monsoons. Weather events in the tropics – such as typhoons, thunderstorms, and other rainstorms – are actually embedded within the much larger monsoons. Billions of people live in the monsoon climates of South Asia, Africa, and the tropical Americas, and every spring they wait for monsoon rains that will end the winter dryness even though they might also cause disastrous floods. There is often too little water or too much.
