Southwest Monsoon winds bring widespread rainfall over the mainland of India. It is the central backbone of Indian agricultural activities and the source of peninsular perennial rivers. It is created due to the pressure variations among land and sea. Thus it originates from the Indian Ocean. It rises in the North straight direction, but after it crosses the equator, due to the Coriolis force, the direction turns southwest. It brings rain to the mainland of India.
