The Onset and Withdrawal of the Monsoon
The Onset and Withdrawal of the Monsoon
The Onset and Withdrawal of the Monsoon: The trade winds are steady but the monsoon winds are pulsating in nature. They are affected by different atmospheric conditions encountered by it, on its way over the warm tropical area. Starting from early June in the Southern part of the Indian peninsula, the monsoon lasts between 100 and 120 days, withdrawing by mid-September. Rainfall increases suddenly and continues for several days at the time of arrival of monsoon. This phenomenon is called as Burst of monsoon. It is different from pre-monsoon showers. Afterwards, it alternates with wet and dry spells.
Onset of Monsoon: Monsoon generally reaches the Southern tip of the peninsula during the first week of June. After striking the Southern tip, it branches into two parts- the Arabian Sea branch and ‘the Bay of Bengal branch; both branches move rapidly.
Withdrawal of Monsoon: Withdrawal or the retreat of the monsoon is a more gradual process. The process begins by early September in North-Western states. By mid-October, it withdraws completely from the Northern half of the peninsula.
The withdrawal from the Southern half of the peninsula is fairly rapid. By early December, the monsoon has withdrawn from the rest of the country.
Onset and Withdrawal of Monsoon in the Indian Islands: The islands receive the very first monsoon showers from the la week of April to the first week of May. The withdrawal takes place progressively from North to South (in reverse direction) from the first week of December to the first week of January. By this time, the rest of the country is already under the influence of the winter monsoon.
