The flow of winds in India is determined by different seasons, geographical conditions and climatic patterns. If seen, mainly four types of winds blow in India. These winds affect the lifestyle of the people living here, Indian weather and agriculture. Due to these winds, seasons like summer, monsoon and winter come in India.

types of winds in india
First, Permanent Winds. These are those winds which, due to the unevenness of air pressure and temperature of the earth, keep blowing in a certain direction continuously.
Second trade wind. These winds blow from the equator up to 30° north and south latitude. These winds affect the weather of the Indian subcontinent. In simple language, these winds help in bringing rain to the Indian subcontinent during monsoon.
Western cool winds (Westerlies). These winds blow between 30° and 60° northern and southern latitudes. These winds blow from west to east and enter the Indian subcontinent during the winter season. These winds are said to bring cold and dry weather. Especially in the hilly areas of North India, due to which the cold increases.
East-west winds (Polar Easterlies). These winds rise from the polar regions and blow around 60° latitude. These winds are much colder and increase the cold air in India in winter.
Monsoon Winds. Monsoon winds come to the Indian subcontinent in the form of south-west and north-east monsoons. These winds come to the Indian subcontinent from June to September. The function of these winds is that they bring water and moisture from the Indian Ocean and cause heavy rainfall.
North-east monsoon winds. North-east monsoon winds are active over South India from November to December, causing rainfall mainly in Tamil Nadu and surrounding areas.
Winter Winds. Winter winds mainly blow from north to south. In winter, these winds are cold and dry, which prolongs the winter season in the northern and central regions of India.
