Abstract

The word ‘Monsoon’ has its origin in an Arabic word ‘Mausam’ which means ‘season’. The word which was originally referred to wind reversals in the Arabian sea, has come to mean the whole range of phenomena associated with annual weather cycles in Tropical and Sub-tropical Asia, Australia and Africa. Therefore, the study of Monsoon weather patterns is of great importance for farmers, students of environmental science and for all the citizens because Monsoon is the life-line of the countries, including India. Indian Monsoon is part of a much larger circulation, the Asian Monsoon.
