It affects the Indian subcontinent , where it is one of the oldest and most anticipated weather phenomena and an economically important pattern every year from June through September, but it is only partly understood and notoriously difficult to predict.
Southeast Asia's traditional wet season, which typically spans October through March, is driven by the Australian-Indonesian monsoon (AIM) system. This meteorological phenomenon generates air currents flowing from Asia toward Australia, transporting significant moisture that results in substantial precipitation across the region.
Monsoons hit South Asia every year, mostly between June and September. Every year, floods affect the Indian subcontinent, collapsing buildings and causing landslides. Climate change in South Asia has exacerbated these storms. [1]

A monsoon (/ m ɒ n ˈ s uː n /) is traditionally a seasonal reversing wind accompanied by corresponding changes in precipitation [1] but is now used to describe seasonal changes in atmospheric circulation and precipitation associated with annual latitudinal oscillation of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) between its limits to the north and south of the equator.
Monsoons hit South Asia every year between June and September, but the 2017 monsoon season was far worse than average, [5] bringing flooding and associated landslides of unusual severity. Experts called the floods the worst in South Asia in decades and a threat to long-term food supplies due to ruined farmland. [6]
With weak La Niña conditions forecast to prevail during the autumn season, associated cool waters over the central Pacific will contribute to warmer-than-average sea surface temperatures over the ...
