Explanation:
The Bay of Bengal branch:
The Bay of Bengal branch strikes the coast of Myanmar and parts of south-east Bangladesh. But the Arakan Hills along the coast of Myanmar deflect a big portion of this branch towards the Indian subcontinent.
The monsoon, therefore, enters West Bengal and Bangladesh from the south and south-east instead of from the south-westerly direction.
From here, this branch splits into two under the influence of the Himalayas and the thermal low in north-west India.
