The term monsoon has been derived from the Arabic word mausin meaning ‘season’.
Monsoons are seasonal winds (Rhythmic wind movements) (Periodic Winds) that reverse their direction with the change of season.
The monsoon is a double system of seasonal winds – They flow from sea to land during the summer and from land to sea during winter.

🔑Key Points:
Indian Monsoons are Convection cells on a very large scale.
They are periodic or secondary winds that seasonal reversal in wind direction.
India receives south-west monsoon winds in summer and north-east monsoon winds in winter.
South-west monsoons are formed due to an intense low-pressure system formed over the Tibetan plateau.
North-east monsoons are associated with high-pressure cells over Tibetan and Siberian plateaus.
South-west monsoons bring intense rainfall to most of the regions in India and north-east monsoons bring rainfall to the mainly the south-eastern coast of India (Southern coast of Seemandhra and the coast of Tamil Nadu.).
Countries like India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Myanmar, etc. receive most of the annual rainfall during the south-west monsoon season whereas southeast China, Japan, etc., during north-east rainfall season.
