- The southwest Monsoon brings rains towards the end of summer as the high pressure built in the Indian Ocean pushes the wind masses towards the low pressure formed on land.
- The southwestern summer Monsoons occur from July through September. Northern and central Indian subcontinent heats up during the hot summers.
- This causes a low-pressure area over the northern and central Indian subcontinent. To fill this void, the moisture-laden winds from the Indian Ocean rush into the subcontinent.
- These winds, rich in moisture, are drawn towards the Himalayas. The Himalayas act like a high wall, blocking the winds from passing into Central Asia and forcing them to rise. As the clouds rise their temperature drops and precipitation occurs.

It occurs from June to September. As Southwest Monsoon approaches the withdrawal phase from a particular region, certain conditions become prevalent. These include change of wind pattern, reduction in cloud cover, and decrease in humidity, cessation of rain or sporadic rain, and temporary rising tendency of temperatures.

Sonal Gupta answered |
In South India, rainfall decreases away from the Eastern Ghats is false. The correct geographical pattern is that rainfall decreases from the Western Ghats towards the East. The Western Ghats block the moisture-laden South-West monsoon winds, leading to heavy rainfall on the western side, while the regions to the east (like the Deccan Plateau) receive less rainfall.

- Around September, with the sun fast retreating south, the northern landmass of the Indian subcontinent begins to cool off rapidly. With this air pressure begins to build over northern India, the Indian Ocean and its surrounding atmosphere still hold its heat.
- This causes the cold wind to sweep down from the Himalayas and Indo-Gangetic Plain towards the vast spans of the Indian Ocean south of the Deccan peninsula. This is known as the Northeast Monsoon or Retreating Monsoon.

Krithika Chavan answered |
- El Nino is the name given to the warm ocean currents along the Pacific coast of South America that arise every few years at about Christmas time.
- The El Nino phenomenon is a part of a chain of meteorological events that extends from the eastern Pacific to northern Australia, Indonesia and into the heartland of India.
- There is a rather weak correlation between El Nino and the Indian monsoon rains.

The South-West Monsoon significantly impacts India's rainfall patterns. Here are some key points:
- It contributes to 80-90% of India's total annual rainfall.
- This monsoon season occurs from June to September.
- It is crucial for agriculture and water resources.
Therefore,Correct Answer - Option A

Divey Sethi answered |
The South-West Monsoon in India is influenced by several factors:
- The presence of low pressure over the Indian subcontinent draws moist air from the ocean.
- A high pressure area over the Indian Ocean facilitates the movement of air towards the low-pressure region.
- The differential heating of land and sea creates pressure differences that drive the monsoon winds.
Therefore, Right Answer - Option A

I. Monsoon reaches the Malabar coast first.
This is correct. The southwest monsoon usually reaches the Malabar coast (the west coast of India) first, around the beginning of June.
This is correct. The southwest monsoon usually reaches the Malabar coast (the west coast of India) first, around the beginning of June.
II. Rajasthan does not get rainfall from the south-west monsoon.
This is incorrect. While Rajasthan does not receive as much rainfall as other parts of India, it does get some rainfall from the southwest monsoon, especially in the southern parts of the state.
This is incorrect. While Rajasthan does not receive as much rainfall as other parts of India, it does get some rainfall from the southwest monsoon, especially in the southern parts of the state.
III. South-west monsoon retreats when the permanent wind belts start shifting to the south.
This is correct. The southwest monsoon begins to retreat around September, when the permanent wind belts (such as the subtropical high-pressure belt) shift southward, leading to a decrease in rainfall.
This is correct. The southwest monsoon begins to retreat around September, when the permanent wind belts (such as the subtropical high-pressure belt) shift southward, leading to a decrease in rainfall.
So, the correct answer is a) I and III only.
