    Question: Which of the following monsoon is known as winter monsoon or retreating monsoon?

    Options:

    South-West monsoon
    North-East monsoon
    South-East monsoon
    North-West monsoon

    🌧️ The Correct Answer is North-East Monsoon.

    📌 Important Points
    → During the months of October-November, the south-west monsoon winds become weaker and start to retreat from the skies of North India. This phase of the monsoon is known as the retreating monsoon.
    → India actually has two monsoons – the southwest monsoon and the northeast monsoon.
    → The southwest monsoon, which is the main monsoon, comes in from the sea and starts making its way up India’s west coast in early June.
    → North-East Monsoon winds blow during the winter season, while the retreating monsoon occurs during October and November.
    → North-East Monsoon winds bring rainfall over the coastal region of Tamil Nadu, while the retreating Monsoon is marked by clear skies and a rise in temperature.
