The monsoon arrived in Kerala; the next step is to determine how and where it will rain across the nation
Kerala has experienced the monsoon. From there, it will now expand and begin to pour across the entire nation. By the way, normal rainfall is expected this year, according to the Meteorological Department. By a side note, it takes a month for the monsoon to start moving through North India after entering Kerala. We'll be able to see how the monsoon begins and develops.
The monsoon is directly related to the sun's position and how hot the planet is. Sea water evaporates as a result of heat
Kerala typically experiences monsoon in June, however the country experiences an active rainy season from July to September.
Kerala is where Kerala's Southwest Monsoon entered the nation. It took an extra four days to get to Kerala. It rained a lot there. Kerala typically experiences the monsoon around June 1; however, this year, the Meteorological Department predicted that it will arrive on June 4. It has therefore been under consideration for a while. It has also been impacted by Cyclone Biperjoy's intensification. This monsoon is currently moving from South India to North India. It will continue to rain everywhere.
Kerala is where the monsoon season always begins between June and September. On June 8, once the monsoon arrived in Kerala, the state experienced widespread rain. Kumbalanghi in Kochi was experiencing heavy rain.
The arrival of the monsoon is a welcome sight amid this Jeth-era heat wave. The Portuguese term "Moncao" is where the English word "monsoon" comes from. This word's original root is the Arabic word mawsim, which means "season." The early modern Dutch word monson shares a connection to the word with Hindi, Urdu, and North Indian languages. In India, the monsoon season lasts for four months, from June to September.
Using a number of variables, the meteorological department forecasts how much rain will fall during the monsoon during these four months.
The monsoon is created in the Indian Ocean during the summer, when the sun is slightly above the equator. This process raises the sea's temperature by up to 30 degrees. The temperature of the globe has then risen to 45–46 degrees. In such a case, the southern Indian Ocean experiences active monsoon winds. These winds meet together, cross the equator, and begin to blow in the direction of Asia. Only on the Indian subcontinent do monsoon rains occur frequently and in large quantities.
By the way, you could claim that the monsoon is caused by the position of the sun throughout the summer and the rising earth's temperature today.
Over the sea, a method of cloud formation starts at this time. While raining, air and clouds cross the Equator's line and turn for the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. All regions of the nation are seeing temperatures that are higher than those at sea level at this moment. When this occurs, winds begin to blow from the sea towards land. When these winds reach the earth, they rise up and produce rain by absorbing the vapour created by sea water evaporation.
The northern areas would have been yearning without the Himalayas.
The monsoon winds flowing from the sea split into two branches after approaching the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. The other branching from the Bay of Bengal collides across the Himalayas via West Bengal, Bihar, and the Northeast before turning towards the Gangetic regions. The second branch from the Arabian Sea side travels via Mumbai, Gujarat, and Rajasthan.
In this manner, the country experiences widespread rain until the first week of July. Around the second week of May, the Bay of Bengal's Andaman and Nicobar Islands experience monsoon, which typically arrives in Kerala around the first of June.
According to meteorologists, the plains of North India would not see the monsoon rains if the Himalayan Mountains were not present. Following a collision with the Himalayas and rain on the plains of North India, monsoon winds travel from the Bay of Bengal and then turn around. Rajasthan received mild showers as the Indian monsoon came to an end. Rajasthan has, however, also experienced some rain in recent years.
Where do monsoons occur?
89 cm of rain fall on average fall on the nation during the monsoon season. The monsoon determines 65% of the country's agricultural output. River water and electricity production are also reliant on the monsoon. While some places of Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu only get 10-15 cm of monsoon rain, the West Coast and Northeast states receive 200 to 1,000 cm of rain annually.
A total of 1,100 cm of rain falls on Cherrapunji each year. While Rajasthan only experiences monsoon rains for one and a half months, Kerala experiences monsoon rains beginning in early June and lasting for almost five months till October. It is from this location that the monsoon leaves.
On India's southwest coast, winds through the Indian and Arabian Seas bring heavy rainfall to Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Pakistani territory as well. By the way, the climate of a region affects its monsoon. In general, the monsoon season brings a drop in temperature but an increase in humidity.
Where is it raining?
By June 10, winds from the Arabian Sea will have moved to Mumbai. The monsoon, however, is about to arrive everywhere this time. Assam experiences monsoon by the first week of June. The winds then shift to the west after crossing the Himalayas. A few days before Mumbai, on or around June 7, the monsoon arrives in Kolkata.
By mid-June, Saurashtra, Kutch, and Central India were all affected by winds coming from the Arabian Sea. From July 1, the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea winds will once again combine, bringing rain to western Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, and eastern Rajasthan.
The first monsoon rainfall in Delhi might occasionally arrive from the east as well as be a part of the current moving over the Bay of Bengal at exactly the same time. This first shower frequently arrives in Delhi from the south as a result of the current passing over the Arabian Sea. The monsoon begins to affect Kashmir and the rest of the nation by mid-July. However, by that time, its moisture content had significantly decreased.
Rainfall from the North-East Monsoon falls on Tamil Nadu
The land areas become colder more quickly in the winter. Dry winds flow in the form of the north-east monsoon in such circumstances. They blow in the opposite direction of the summertime monsoon winds. By the first of January, India's land and marine areas are completely submerged in the north-east monsoon. The temperature in Asia is at its lowest right now. Currently, a zone of high pressure stretches from the Mediterranean Sea in the west to North-East China and from Central Asia.
India experiences a clear sky, pleasant weather, a lack of humidity, and mild northerly winds at this time. Despite the north-east monsoon's lower rainfall, winter crops benefit greatly from it.
The North-East Monsoon causes Tamil Nadu to experience heavy rains. Only during the North-East Monsoon does Tamil Nadu's primary rainy season occur. Actually, the Western Ghats mountain ranges prevent Tamil Nadu from receiving much rain during the North-West Monsoon. Tamil Nadu thus experiences its heaviest rainfall during the North-East Monsoon in November and December.
