The monsoon is here [1]

The monsoon is a wind current in Southern Asia, blowing north east during the summer and southwest monsoon during the winter. During the summer, the monsoon brings heavy rains to southern Asia and Africa, while in the winter it causes the drier seasons. The lives of many people in these areas have developed around these seasonal changes.
