monsoon

Monsoon refers to the seasonal wind of the Indian Ocean and southern Asia, blowing from the southwest in summer and from the northeast in winter. It is one of the oldest and most anticipated weather phenomena and an economically important pattern that affects the Indian subcontinent every year from June through September. The unique geographical features of the Indian subcontinent, along with associated atmospheric, oceanic, and geophysical factors, influence the behavior of the monsoon. Because of its effect on agriculture, flora and fauna and other economic, social, and environmental effects — the monsoon is one of the most anticipated, tracked, and studied weather phenomena in the region.
