Monsoon systems are seasonal weather patterns characterized by heavy rainfall and strong winds, primarily occurring in tropical and subtropical regions. They are driven by the differential heating of land and water, which creates pressure differences that lead to the movement of moist air. This phenomenon is most commonly associated with the Indian subcontinent, where the summer monsoon brings significant precipitation, crucial for agriculture. The monsoon cycle typically consists of a wet phase, where moisture-laden winds bring rain, and a dry phase, marked by reduced rainfall. These systems can also influence global weather patterns and are linked to phenomena such as El Niño and La Niña, which can alter monsoon strength and timing.
