notes:
Monsoon is a seasonal reversing wind accompanied by seasonal changes in precipitation. The term monsoon is used to refer to the rainy phase of a seasonally-changing pattern and was first used in English in India to refer to the big seasonal winds blowing from the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea. The English monsoon came from Arabic mawsim ("season") which is also the word for "weather" in Hindi and Urdu.
Differential warming of land and ocean happens because heat in the ocean is mixed vertically through a "mixed layer" that may be fifty meters deep, whereas the land surface conducts heat slowly, with heat penetrating a meter or so. The specific heat capacity water is significantly higher than that of land. The consequence of these factors is that the air over the land warms faster and reaches a higher temperature than the air over the ocean. The hot air over the land tends to rise, creating an area of low pressure. This creates a steady wind blowing toward the land, bringing the moist air over the oceans with it. However, the lifting occurs, the air cools due to expansion in lower pressure, which in turn produces condensation. Summer monsoons have a strong tendency to ascend and produce copious amounts of rain. Winter monsoons, by contrast, have a strong tendency to diverge, subside and cause drought.
The southwestern summer monsoons in India generally begin around the start of June and fade down by the end of September. The monsoon accounts for 80% of the rainfall in India. Indian agriculture (which accounts for 25% of the GDP and employs 70% of the population) is heavily dependent on the rains, for growing. A delay of a few days in the arrival of the monsoon can badly affect the economy. The monsoon provides relief from the climax of summer heat in June. However, the condition of the roads take a battering each year. Streets and houses are often waterlogged.
