SUMMER MONSOON
The summer monsoon transports moist air from the Indian Ocean to India. Over the Western Ghats, a mountain range in the west of India, these humid air masses bring the first uphill rain. On the other hand, on the other side of the Western Ghats, it remains dry, as these areas are in the rain shadow of the mountains. The air masses are driven further inland by the monsoon winds and transport further precipitation to the Indian plateau, the Deccan plateau. The warm, humid air masses then gradually rise in the Himalayan mountains. There is the last uphill rain. The air masses heat up even further over the Tibetan plateau and continue to rise. The rising warm air forms a low again, which attracts more air coming from the north, which cools down as it rises. The cooled air masses flow back to the equator and towards the ITC. There the cycle starts all over again.
WINTER CONSUMPTION
In winter there is a cold peak in the interior of Asia. From this air flows to the low pressure areas of the ITC, which are now south of the equator. For India this means a change in wind direction compared to summer. The dry air masses come from the Himalayas and spread to the southwest over India. They do not bring any precipitation.
