Detailed Solution

Arabs named the seasonal reversal of the wind system “monsoon”. The term monsoon means ‘season.’ The Arab sailors who visited India in historic times first noticed this seasonal wind reversal and named it monsoon after the Arabic word ‘mausim.’ The visiting traders from Arab and Portuguese regions benefited from this seasonal reversal since it facilitated the smooth movement of ships to the Indian coast. India is a country with a monsoon-type of climate. The climatic conditions and agricultural activities depend on the monsoon. The southwest monsoons cause heavy rainfall in the windward regions of the Himalayas, Western Ghats, and the northeast hilly areas. June is the arrival time of monsoons, and the southwest monsoons withdraw from the Indian mainland around October.
