Retreating monsoon

• In October and November, as the sun moves south, the monsoon trough over northern India weakens.
• This is replaced by a high-pressure system, and the southwest monsoon winds begin to weaken and withdraw gradually.
• By the beginning of October, the monsoon starts to retreat from the Northern Plains.
• October and November mark the transition from the rainy season to dry winter conditions.
• During this period, the skies become clear, and temperatures rise.
• While the days can be hot, the nights become cooler and more pleasant.

Southwest Monsoon Season

• The period from June to September is known as the Southwest Monsoon season.
• It is the main rainy season for the Indian subcontinent.
• During this time, the southwest monsoon dominates the weather, bringing the majority of the rainfall.
• Nearly 75% of the country’s rainfall occurs during these months.
