Detailed Solution

The withdrawal of monsoon begins in the southern states by early September.
The monsoon winds entering the Indian subcontinent in June cause moderate to heavy rainfall on the mainland. The winds cause rainfall throughout June, and the entire land receives rainfall by July. By the end of August, the monsoons begin retreating from the Indian subcontinent. It starts withdrawing from the western coast of Mumbai by the beginning of October. The southwest monsoons weaken during September due to the prevailing cold climate. By early September, the winds withdraw from the southern states, and by the end of October-November, the monsoons completely retreat from the Indian mainland. The monsoons cause about 100-120 days of rainfall.
