I am from Jammu and Kashmir.. Northernmost state of India.. Monsoon is like a festival in India and people enjoy the rain but sometimes it leads to floods also but it's ok , overall monsoon brings greenery and Indian emotions are related to monsoon..It is believed that lovers are more romantic during monsoon..it is a song.. Mohabbat bharsa dena tu,savan (monsoon) Aya hai.. And many more.. By the way thanks for such a wonderful explaination...
Im from kerala. Monsoon enters india through kerala and in kerala we experience heavy rains of almost 6 months. Though the climate has been changed little now, but i really remember my childhood days where it rains for weeks without stopping 😊
I am from West Bengal. Today I am watching this video when this years' Mansoon arrived from Bay of Bengal to upwards. Your explanation is really good. Most of the times, monsoon brings floods on several parts of NE India and Bangladesh. Also, each year, Cyclones effect this area including western side of India on the month of May. Will love to watch a detailed video from your end.
Such a detailed and comprehensive video. I did not gather this much information even after reading so many papers. Such a great job! Looking forward to more videos!
Is there some meaning to the orange and blue arrows you used to show the wind direction. It first appears in 2:36. I assumed blue was cool air and orange was hot air. Maybe I missed something.
Great video! It looks like you missed the rainfall brought by the winter (North East monsoon) monsoon on the eastern coast of India. You had noted this effect for Japan.
Yes, it got pointed out. I was aware of it, but for brevity, I did not include it. I did include the Japan part, however, as I wanted to broaden the coverage of countries more equally and not focus so heavily on India.
A correction: The Khasi Hills (home of Cherrapunji and Mawsynram) are one of the TWO wettest regions of the world, not solely the wettest as you claim. The other is the Choco Region in western Colombia, wich going mm by mm is even a bit wetter than its Indian counterpart. The difference is that the Choco isn't moonsonal but of a rainforest precipitation: constant, eternal massive rainfall but without reaching those insane heights of Cherrapunji's and Mawsynram's. How do you made those CHELSA graphics?? They're are amazing!!
Cherrapunji's climate is still comfortable during the summer, the highest temperature recorded there was only 31.1 (88°F) however what's more interesting the three hottest months are August, September, October on Average, not your typical April-June.
Yes, most likely due to the cooling effect of the rain coming down from higher altitude. There are some cities in West Africa that also show dips in average temperature in the highest rainfall month.
all of my grandparents are from what is now bangladesh. they kept boats in their houses even though they didn't really live close to any river. the reason: consistent floods.
Paradoxically the winter monsoon sends strong chilly air masses across the northern Pacific to the western United States, with heavy winter rains striking California (which would otherwise be about as dry as the Atacama Desert of northern Chile). Although the extreme cold of a Siberian winter has fully dissipated over the Pacific, the cold fronts remain intact upon crossing the Pacific and force frontal storms with heavy rains.
Not sure that's the case, since the Pacific NW latitude in Chile (47 degrees S) you have very heavy rainfall thanks to the westerlies. More on this in my Oceanic video.
You missed one point, though it may seems insignificant, but its regarding the rainfall in southern tip of india where dry winter season brings rain fall, due to the peculiar shape of indian subcontinent the wind blows from bay of bengal towards southern andhra and tamilnadu-kerala which brings winter rainfall
@@Geodiode thankyou for the kind words .. There is one point to be added if i may, this winter rain fall is the only rainfall season of the southern province of tamilnadu, as they don't get the summer monsoon, due to the obstruction of western ghats...so for close to 60 million people this rainfall is a life saver..
Absolutely brilliant masterpiece 👌🏼👌🏼 Animations and conceptual clarity reflects in every part of video. Your explanation helps to visualise very complex physical geography topics . Take lots of love 💖 and respect from India 🇮🇳🤗 . If possible please make a video on topic like JET streams and impact on climate of different countries . EL NINO southern oscillations, MJO and IOD. Thank you so much ❤❤😊😊
I did not know it was that large. In my country, although we have distinct four weathers including winter, it rains a lot in summer and we call it ‘장마(Jangma)’ in Korea.
I am staying first time in Goa, and i am experiencing monsoons first time. It is raining so so much here, without a pause, i had to watch a detailed video on it! I can say that, you cannot believe it how much it rain, how it rains left right and center, day and night, unless you see it for yourself. It is so so unique. Just Amazing.
TBH it rained much less this year in Goa, so just imagine how much it rains here usually lol Monsoon season is the worst time to come to Goa, 'Winter' time is the best
@@Geodiodehabibi come to arunachal Pradesh and meghalaya, rainfall at goa will look like afternoon shower to you, it even rains in winter here, we hardly get 60 days of consecutive dry weather in a year!
10:40 funfact the State of Meghalaya, literally means Cloud(Megh) Home(Alaya) or the Home of the Clouds. The reason it recieved even more intense rain than the other states adjacent to the Himalayas is, It's actually situated on top of Garo hills(an ancient decaying mountain) which is just south of the great Brahamaputra river,which is just south of the Himalayas. So, all these factors magnify the effect.
I'm from Mumbai, but now live in Stockholm. Whenever they talk about 'how it's raining heavily out there' I always want to laugh 🤣 Brilliant explanation!
@@Geodiode yeah obviously ... even the cyclone 🌀 named Yash will be stricking on 26 th of May ... very devastating cyclone indeed.. every year one or two cyclones take many lives of people ... 🥺🥺😔😔
@@anikghosh4271 and yet the fertile alluvium of the Ganges provides for some of the best farming land in the world, hence the large population. Being at constant risk of floods and cyclones.
War is a cruel parent, but an effective teacher. Its final lesson is carved deep in my psyche: That this world, and all its people, are diseased. Free will is a myth. Religion is a joke. We are all pawns, controlled by something greater: Memes. The DNA of the soul. They shape our will. They are the culture, they are everything we pass on. Expose someone to anger long enough, they will learn to hate. They become a carrier. Envy, greed, despair... All memes. All passed along.
I live in the state of Punjab, NW india. Here we have two rainy seasons in a year. Less intense winter rains in the months of Jan & Feb and the intense monsoon in summers. The NE winds that blow over Punjab get their moisture from Black sea. This unique weather pattern help us to have two harvest seasons, one in April (due to winter rains) called "Rabi" and other in October (due to monsoon) called Kharif
@@akhileshpatel1715 haha No definitely not. We are a rain scare region in comparison to Mumbai. Had we got the kind of rains you have, we would have overflooded (pun intended) the markets with our harvests each year :)
@@JaspreetSingh-hb2mr rice and wheat are water insensive crops ad ideally shouln't be grown in punjab. water table is at alarming low level due to this.
I am an Indian and every year monsoon is eagerly awaited by everybody. It brings releif to urban population from the sweltering summers and brings much needed waters to the rural agricultural population. Personally, I find rains very likeable. Every year right from the first week of April, I just can't wait for monsoon to arrive. It is strikingly regular in my city. It usually comes in between first of June and fifth of June. There is a massive change in climate since the morning of first June... Well, mostly. Sometimes it plays spoilsport, like 2023 when it was delayed by 10 days and made the wait and heat unbearable.
Korean here, I hate our monsoons. It's very humid and miserable. Doesn't feel like it cools down at all, like a month long outdoor sauna while it rains all day every day. I much prefer dry heat, humid heat is the worst.
Never thought that my home city, Irkutsk, is within a part of Asian Moonsoon system. Yes, I knew what we were inside a truly gargantuan Siberian Anticyclone, but god, how well being part of Asian Moonsoon system explains stupid massive amounts of rain in recent years within Southern Siberia, where I live. Thanks for explaining how these weather and climate systems work. It'll greatly increase understanding of the world.
Great to hear from you Anton, from that city on the lake, and the Trans-Siberian! I hope you get to enjoy my video about your country, just released. Stay warm in those winters!
I'm from the Philippines, and for the most part, we also experience monsoons similar to that experienced in India, but is arguably milder in comparison. The SW monsoon brings warm moisture-laden air from the Indian ocean and brings rain throughout the country especially in the western regions, while the NE monsoon brings in cool dry air from Siberia causing cool weather and some rains across some of the eastern regions. However, since we lie in the typhoon belt, a significant portion of wetness in the country comes from ITCZ and tropical cyclones
I like the NE monsoon or hanging Amihan because the air is cold. I remembered when I was a kid that I always wake up early in the morning to feel the cold air.
@@valiantecuasion5310 yeah amihan, i miss the times i had as a kid when the cool air of the monsoon was really felt, or i guess i just got bigger lol lmao
@@valiantecuasion5310 IKR. I remember waking up, preparing for school. Bathing in cold water when brushing my teeth seeing my breath form into visible condensation. Feels like I was in a cold country when in fact I live in Eastern Visayas. lol
I'm from state of West Bengal in eastern India. We rarely see a weak monsoon in this part of the country. But heavy rain and flooding is a serious and yearly problem in our region.
I'm curious and this is totally not relevant subject at all, but do you watch a lot of monsoon videos? Like if there's a video that's on the North Sea or something, there's not a bunch Scandinavians commenting on that, not more so than there are commenting on any other kind of video, but on videos about like micronesia Indonesia, India, any countries within that vicinity, there are always people from the area of being talked about in the video commenting on it.
I think it's because of the algorithm xd and population. You'd find more people from India,Indonesia,Malaysia etc on the Internet because there are a lot more people who use the internet than let's say Scandanavia. China is geoblocked so you do not see much chinese people using youtube.@@Velereonics
As for India, I think a lot of us like to watch informational videos like these because it's basically what we studied at school. A lot of Indian people try to sit for their state/nation civil service examination which requires you to study a lot about your region/country's history,geography,political climate etc.
I am from Western Indian city of pune, 100 kms away from Mumbai in Western ghats mountains. You can easily see here the effects of monsoon. In rainy season mountains are totally green and we go for monsoon trekking but in dry winter season we face droughts and shortage of water supply every year.
@@akhileshpatel1715 One can argue that Pune lies in western ghats. It is just on the leeward side of the peaks. It is not exactly the plateau region and surrounded by lots of hills. Also, technically it is in rainshadow region but it does get decent rainfall as it is close to the peaks and the clouds passing those peaks do get affected by the further set of smaller hills causing rain.
@@Geodiode If you travel India in May month , In Southern Side , Temperature is actually hot and always more than 40°C in most of the region but if you travel to Northern most India , You will find temperature below 20°C and Some places like Dras , Lahol Spiti and Siachin , Temperatures actually will be below -30°C ......at a same time in a same country ......And Dras is the second most cold place in the world after Siberia
Hi Everyone! I hope you enjoy this presentation of the Asian Monsoon. Please let me know if you live in one of these areas, and how it affects your life, moods etc.!
Hey! many thanks for such a nice video. I am currently working on a research proposal for Vietnam. So could you explain to me in easier words why is it that the influence of the Asian Monsoon over south-east Asia, is not special?. As you said is not worth mentioning in your video.
@@_Hola_12 it's because the temperature and rainfall patterns found there are fairly typical of Tropical Monsoon and Savannah climates found also in Africa and the Americas. What makes the Indian Monsoon special is the much heavier monsoon rain. What makes the East Asian Monsoon special is that monsoon patterns go far into the high latitudes.
Stunning as usual! Thanks so much for that well prepared and excellent explained video. I didn't know Asian monsoon also covers Arabian peninsula as well. Is really impressive how the change in direction of winds can affect the vast majority of that continent. The graph of Mumbai is incredible I don't know what to say about the graph of Cherrapunjee. Unthinkable!!
@@Geodiode disappoint? Of course not! It was an amazing job as always. I may say thank you once again for giving me the opportunity of helping you. Always a pleasure!
@richardtorres2676 Cherrapunjee on the average, receives annual rainfall of almost 11 meters (11,000 mm). Hence, the epithet, the spot with the highest rainfall on Earth. The rainfall flows down to north into the Brahmaputra and to east into Barak that joins Meghna river. River Brahmaputra (Jumna locally) joins River Ganga (Padma locally) and Meghna joins as the last. Thus, the river system has the third largest discharge (after the might Amazon & Congo), for any river in the world.
I believe there are two other monsoons on Earth - the West African Monsoon and the North Australian Monsoon. In the case of the West African Monsoon, the warming of Europe and North Africa in the summer pulls rain in from the South Atlantic, and in the case of Northern Australia, the warming of Australia during the southern summer pulls rain in from the seas around Indonesia and PGN. What is fascinating about the West African Monsoon, is that changes in the Earth`s orbit change the amount of sunlight that the Sahara receives in the summer. 5 000 to 15 000 years ago the Sahara received much more sunlight than today, and the West African Monsoon pulled rains in much further north. This allowed much of the Sahara to develop a savanna biome, and the formation of large lakes. At the time, Lake Chad was one of the largest lakes on the planet.
Loved your explanation. The monsoon has always been my favourite topic related to climate. It's May 15, 2022 and I am waiting for the South-West monsoon to arrive here in Mumbai. Still 20-25 days to go for its arrival in Mumbai but the monsoon does bring in happiness and relief from the scorching heat to us Indians. Also, when it rains, it pours here in Mumbai which is on the windward side. The western Ghats (or Sahyadris as they are called in the state of Maharashtra) which are roughly 80 kms to the east of Mumbai run parallel to the west coast down till Kerala block these moist winds and the windward side is at the receiving end of these strong monsoon winds and they receive torrential rains throughout the monsoon months. On the contrary, the leeward side of these ranges receive scanty rainfall and some regions fall under the "rain-shadow region". Nevertheless, monsoon totally changes the moods of the people and we romanticize Mumbai with its beautiful monsoon rains.
I am from Eastern Maharashtra. Here July and August are the wettest months each averaging around 350 mm of rains. Low pressure/Depressions from Bay of Bengal directly affects our region and incessant rains lash continously for days sometimes even extending to a period of weeks. July 2022 saw exceptionally heavy rains with average rainfall standing greater than 700 mm and some regions receiving rains more than 1000 mm in a single month. Monsoon are truly magical and the festivals are dependent on it. Even the Indian/Hindu calender works on seasons.
We’re sailors lived years in Singapore, now in Indonesia The monsoon creates a strong current with quite an impact when your at the wrong side of it. That’s noticeable when houses disappear in sea or even the best marina’s have waves rocking their docks. The monsoon plays a huge factor in how we plan our journeys within the region.
Even though this is more professional and specific, this is the first channel that I can actually follow along with when the channel is explaining the climate in an area. Thanks you so much!
I am from bihar,an eastern indian state ,every year we face massive death, destruction and replacement in north bihar due to floods caused by monsoons. Still many of our important festivals falls in monsoon.
Here I stand beneath the warm and soothing rain The droplets falling gently down on the terrain Wash away the sorrow, all the stains of time But there's no memory, it's only dry inside In the mud and sinking deeper into a peaceful life And it will come like a flood of pain pouring down on me And it will not let up until the end is here And it will come through the darkest day, in my final hour And it will never rest until the clouds are clear Until it finds my dreams have disappeared My dreams disappear
I live in the southern part of India called Tamil Nadu. We have two distinct monsoon seasons. The south west monsoon during June to September that you described, and another called the north east that follows in October and November. We have a long mountain range closer to the coast on the western side. The part to the west of these ranges as well as the Deccan plateau receives plenty of rain. This monsoon is the major one for the entire country. But for Tamil Nadu which is to the east of this western mountain range, it delivers less rain. Tamil Nadu benefits significantly from the north east monsoon. I guess the wind blowing over the Bay of Bengal brings in moist air. I can understand that in your larger scope spread across Asia, this may be a minor part. But for the local population, these distinctions are significant. Both rainy seasons have cyclones associated with them. Cyclones are more frequent over the Bay of Bengal in the east, than over the Arabian Sea in the west. These cyclones originate closer to Indonesia and move towards the eastern coast of Tamil Nadu, and some may even head towards Bangladesh.
It’s kind of strange after living in western NA for so long and having wet winter-dry summer ingrained in my head to find out that in most places it’s the opposite
Loved this video, thank you so much for making this awesome piece of scientific art!! As many have mentioned the monsoons are ingrained in our Indian heads and hearts. I was working in EU and the US for the past couple of years, returning to India just before the pandemic forced a global lock-down. After the miserable and locked-down hot Indian 'summer' April-May, I cannot express the joy on seeing the first blanket of monsoon clouds that passed over my head, my heart filled with hope and happiness like never before. I missed my monsoons in EU and in the US, when the monsoons arrived my heart was full, I was home after all! I wish I could add a pic of that scene - the first glimpse of monsoon clouds as I looked up in despair at the punishing sun. I live in the city of Coimbatore in the state of Tamil Nadu, southeast India. Kerala is on the windward side, while we are situated on the leeward side of the Western Ghats mountain ranges in southern India which cause orographic lift similar to the Himalayan ranges. Much of my state in south-east India gets its rain from the winter monsoons which pick up moisture from the Bay of Bengal, receiving very little from the summer monsoons. Thankfully for Coimbatore, we are situated in a break in the Western Ghats mountain ranges called the Palghat/Palakkad gap, a lovely geographic feature (its called a shear zone by geologists). This means that despite being on the leeward side we happen to get some of the monsoon winds making it through the Palghat gap giving us rainfall from the summer monsoon. These clouds that escaped the orographic lift, swooshed past the gap passed directly over my head this monsoon season. An unforgettable thrill!
Let me tell you about the rainfall of Beijing it is so uneven. In 1939 it has over 1000mm of rain in July in Beijing because 2 typhoons hit Beijing. The old people say it rained 40 days. 1871 1886 1890 1891 1893 1894 1901 1924 1939 1956 1959 All these years the yearly rainfalls are over 1000mm. I think all these years the climate of Beijing is closer to Korea and Japan. Haha
Salute from a Geography teacher in Hong Kong. This explains the Asian monsoon system so well! And not to mention the incredible power of monsoon, bringing about rain as well as the problem of landslides as a major geological hazard in Hong Kong.
I loved being a student in Hong Kong. So many days off because of red and black rainstorm warnings😆 I now live in Melbourne, Australia which is far removed from direct monsoon impacts, although occasionally a summer cold front will advect enough tropical moisture down here for a few thunderstorms.
14:23 correction: it's the second snowiest city in the world behind Aomori, another Japanese city at the northernmost point of Japan's biggest island, Honshu
@@Geodiode 300k people would be considered a big city where I'm from and you're calling it town-sized lol. It depends on what statistics you take in the end. Most statistics tend to agree that Aomori is number 1, Sapporo number 2 and Toyama number 3 but by Japanese standards Aomori is relatively small. I guess we're both right in the end XD
it was awsm , but u could have covered North east monsoon season for indian subcontinet too because it affects almost 30-40% of the population of india ( south india) ...
Indian Monsoon is called the unofficial Finance Minister of India because even the Finnce minister first studies the monsoon pattern because all economic decision are determined by it. bad monsoon would severly affect crops and hence productivity whereas a good and timely monsoon aids crop yields.
Makes me get reminded why we see weather agencies some of em under the department of commerce in some countries like the US, with NOAA and the NWS under the DoC
Compared to Japan, there is a three bodies of water around Arabian Peninsula but still our climate is desert!!! why? this is really weird :( And really I hate this type of climate, almost the surface are very very humid and very very hot 🥵
Is the Somalia's dry climate also affected by asian monsoon? Somalia is located near the equator, and is not affected by cold current, so I always wondered why it has dry climate instead of tropical one. Just as you mentioned in 8:43, Arabia is also affected by monsoon but it is dry since both wind come from continent. And that tendency could be extended south toward Somalian peninsula; if the wind blows from African inland in summer, and from Arabia in winter, the climate would be dry annually.
Great question. It, and the peru coast are the only dry tropical parts of the world. In the case of Peru that is answered in my video on Lima's climate. For Mogadishu however, it is unclear as the waters around the area aren't that cold. It must be that the winds never blow in from the ocean...
thanks for the info! now i understand why the climate in japan and uk are very different despite being island nation facing directly towards the continent!
The starting of the monsoons always feel like a godsend at the end of very hot and dry periods. Foreigners often don't understand the joy Indians feel during the first rains of the year.
Great video! I didn't think that the Asian monsoon is such a big climate system. Can you talk about the Amazon rainforest and its "flying rivers", which is also another big climate system that influences all of South America?
Wow, I got attracted to this video really well. Good editing. Monsoons in my country make me feel like I'm standing beneath the warm and soothing rain.
Thanks for this brilliantly made video.. it's so informative. Here in India.. the #monsoon take such an enormous cultural & historic weight in our society that i can not even describe it here... from our legendary epics to historic stories to poetry to movies & songs.. the Indian Monsoon have left their impact not just on climate but also in our society. #PS- btw this year... the coastal city of Mumbai seems to be having rains almost non-stop.. it's almost end of September & Mumbai is still getting ridiculous amounts of rain... probably yet another proof of climate change
You have missed Sri Lanka. There are towns in Sri Lanka which receives rain from both monsoons. Ex. Ratnapura., as well as shielded from both. The highest NE monsoon rainfalls are recorded in Sri Lanka in the knuckles range amounting to 4500mm.
However, I would like say that the indo-gangetic plains and brahmaputra plain, are still very very hot during the rainy season, honestly the rainy season brings only little relief otherwise it's still summer, honestly Half of the year From Apr to Oct its hot hot and from Oct to Apr cold cold.
I’m from Nagaland N-E India . One of the most remarkable biodiverse region on earth . The monsoon rain starts from 2nd week of April to last week of October which means higher diversity.

Please make a detailed video about NORTH EAST MONSOON of India. It's mechanism and Climatology. The Coromandel coast ( From Chennai to tuticorin) gets rainfall mainly in November to January completely different from rest of India where wet season is from June to September.
8:28 - Borneo, Northeast Philippine, Papua and East Coast Peninsular Malaysia in winter (Dec - Feb) tend to be more rainy (maybe when Siberian High across to the South China Sea, it's also bring a lot of rain as Siberian High absorb the moisture through the wind direction) than in summer (Jun - Aug).
I live in Java, Indonesia. October-April is wet season, April-October is dry season. At the peak of wet season, western Java can get very high amount of rain, even Jakarta will be drown by big flood. But at dry season, eastern and central Java will get drought for one or two months. But in supposedly dry season in Indonesia, other part of the country still receive much amount of rain such as northern Sulawesi and Kalimantan.
The Asian monsoon brings different amount of precipitation to South East Asia as compared to India and China. On the contrary to the northern neighbours, the winter winds bring high rainfall to the islands of South East Asia, largely due to the winds picking up moisture over the South China Sea. We usually have low rainfall between March to August, likely because the mountains of Sumatra and Java shielded the winds.
I was over the Monsoon in 2013. World changed to Pangea and went to a new North America in different timing. Myan people migrated to this world. Now I may have to go back.
Here in the Philippines, we experience two different monsoons. In the months of June to October, we experience the wet season due to the Southwest Monsoon (Filipino: Hanging Habagat) that blows from the equator which is a warm and moist wind. We also experience frequent typhoons during those times and it can strengthen the Southwest Monsoon causing more rains. In the months of October to late March, the Southwest Monsoon retreats as the Northeast Monsoon (Filipino: Hanging Amihan) surges. Northeast Monsoon brings cool and dry winds generated by the high pressure in Siberia and Mongolia. During those times, we experience the dry season with lesser rain compared to the rest of the months and lesser typhoons. But the El Niño-Southern Oscillation can also affect the amount of rainfall we receive.
I m in Pakistan sindh Hyderabad every year Monsoon is very dangerous Hyderabad record 426 mm rain in 22 hours in 2006 and others records are last year 2022 Hyderabad record 970mm in hole Monsoon July and August
This is such an amazing video! I was working on a presentation about Mysore's groundwater vulnerability and the effects of weather changes on it when i bumped into this. Really helped me a lot... New sub from Mexico!
Im from northeast India with the highest rainfall region, weather pattern seems to be more irregular and unpredictable every year. wet monsoon is a season of landslides here.
10:50 I really appreciate your efforts in explaining the scale of rainfall that occurs in the Indian monsoon. Thank you :) I live in the Himalayan foothill region of the north of India and the very initial rain signalling the monsoon is here today. What a pleasure it is to welcome the rains after 40°C scorching heat of May-June. Being just below the 2100m high lower-mountain ranges of the Himalayas, the Orographic-lift effect here does make this particular region especially rainy during this time. The greenery just spreads everywhere. Life takes over. Landslides become quite common which is the only bad part of it. I discovered your channel just today. It is people like you who create awesome content like this that I feel so glad to have access to RU-vid and the internet.
I am from Sialkot Pakistan and here monsoon happens as well, but only in the northern parts of Pakistan that is close to the Himalayas, while the rest of country doesnt suffer much from the monsoon rains
Thank you for this great video. I had been very interested lately about how the Asian monsoon worked. I am originally from the island of Puerto Rico and we had yearly monsoon. Incredibly enough, Spring was the driest there. Thanks again!
Meghalaya translates to abode of the clouds. Which is apt cause my 2plus year's in that state were surrounded by beautiful winds, clouds and lush greenery
I live in Western India and witness the fury and fiery as well as calm and composed monsoon every year. The information you have provided in this video is good, however, I was wondering why you did not mention anything about El Nino phenomenon which has a prominent effect on the variability of the monsoon received in the Indian subcontinent
