So, they deliver little or no rain. India is experiencing unusual pressure and wind conditions. North of the Himalayas, there is a high-pressure area during the winter. From this area, cold, dry winds go to low-pressure zones over the southern oceans. Over interior Asia and northwest India, a low-pressure region forms in the summer. It results in a reversal of the wind's direction throughout the summer..
