The Monsoons


Monsoons are strong winds that change direction with the season. They send wind to the ocean during winter and to land in summer. The reason the winter temperature in India is so hot is because the Himalayas block the cold air from getting to the country. When summer rolls around the monsoons send cold air from the seas to the country making it get colder. There is also a ton of rain during the summer monsoons because of the moisture rich air. The summer monsoons are dangerous because of all of the dangers heavy rain can create. Such as landslides, the landslides can cause considerable damage.
