First, understand how winds become monsoon.
A monsoon means a change in the direction of winds in the season. In india, pakistan and Bangladesh, during summer, hot air starts rising above the ground, due to which low-pressure areas start forming in the land areas. On the contrary, the high-pressure area starts forming in the sea because it is colder there than on land. Around May-June, these winds start increasing in low-pressure areas. These winds also bring with them the moisture of the sea. These are called monsoon winds. In india, these winds come from two directions. South-west and south-east.
How does monsoon reach India?
South-west monsoon arrives in india, which first hits the coasts of Kerala. According to the Meteorological Department, if 2.4 mm of rain is recorded for 2 consecutive days after May 10 at 9 out of 14 weather stations in kerala, lakshadweep and Karnataka, then it is considered as the entry of monsoon. A monsoon is a system of seasonal winds that carries hot and humid air towards cold continents. Its entry into india is through the indian Ocean and Arabian Sea. It first reaches Andaman, from where it moves towards Kerala. Usually, monsoon reaches kerala around 1st June. Monsoon in india lasts from june to September
