The pressure and wind conditions over India are unique. During winter, there is a high-pressure area
north of the Himalayas. Cold dry winds blow from this region to the low-pressure areas over the
oceans to the south.
In summer, a low-pressure area develops over interior Asia, as well as, over northwestern India. This
causes a complete reversal of the direction of winds during summer.
Air moves from the high-pressure area over the southern Indian Ocean, in a south-easterly direction,
crosses the equator, and turns right towards the low-pressure areas over the Indian subcontinent. These
are known as the Southwest Monsoon winds. These winds blow over the warm oceans, gather moisture
and bring widespread rainfall over the mainland of India.
