North India is troubled by the scorching heat. People living here are now looking towards the clouds with hope that the raindrops fall on the ground as soon as possible and the temperature of the earth decreases. Usually, the monsoon knocks on the door of North India between 20 and 25 June and by 15 July, it takes the whole of India in its grip. Let us tell you today how the monsoon arrives.
First understand the meaning of the word monsoon
There is a word in Arabic called mawsim, which means season. In Portuguese, it is called mansão. While the early modern Dutch word monsoon is also similar to this. The combination of all these has become the word monsoon today. In simple words, you can call monsoon the reversal of wind. Now to understand this in clear words, it means the reversal of winds from one direction by at least 120 degrees or completely 180 degrees.
How is monsoon formed
Monsoon is formed when the sun is exactly above the equator in the Indian Ocean during the summer season. During this process, the temperature of the sea reaches 30 degrees and the temperature of the earth reaches 45-46 degrees. As soon as this situation is created, monsoon winds become active in the southern part of the Indian Ocean and then these winds cross each other and cross the equator and start moving towards Asia. During this time, the process of formation of rain clouds over the ocean also speeds up. Later, these winds and rain clouds move towards the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, causing rain.
How does the monsoon arrive in India
When strong winds and rain clouds reach the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, they split into two parts. One part moves forward from the Arabian Sea via Mumbai, Gujarat, Rajasthan, while the other part moves from the Bay of Bengal via West Bengal, Bihar, the Northeast, collides with the Himalayas and turns towards the foothills of the Ganges. In this way, the monsoon covers India in two parts.
