Detailed Solution

The word "monsoon" is derived from the Arabic word "Mausam," meaning reversal of
wind.
The mechanism that causes the monsoon winds to move toward the Indian subcontinent is the heating of land and water throughout the summer. The Arabian Sea Branch and the Bay of Bengal Branch are the two main monsoon branches. The subcontinent's temperature is significantly lowered by rainfall. The Arabian Sea branch causes rainfall over the entire West Coast, in the Western Ghats, in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and in some areas of Madhya Pradesh, while the Bay of Bengal affects the Bengal Coast and the southern face of the Shillong Plateau. The period from June through September is the season of South-West Monsoon.
