Southwest monsoon of 2017 was marked by two extended break spells during its second half. This study investigates the meteorological factors that contributed to the occurrence/sustenance of these breaks. It is found that the first break spell, that happened during 31 July-17 August 2017, was characterized by increased convection over northwest Pacific. On the other hand, the second spell during 01-11 September 2017 was associated with southward intrusion of midlatitude westerlies and increased convection over equatorial Indian Ocean.
