Question

Which parts of India are influenced by the Arabian Sea branch of the south-vest monsoons?

Answer 1

Hint: The term "monsoon" was originally used to describe seasonal changes in atmospheric circulation and precipitation associated with annual latitudinal oscillation of the Intertropical Convergence Zone between its limits to the north and south of the equator, but it is now used to describe seasonal changes in atmospheric circulation and precipitation associated with annual latitudinal oscillation of the Intertropical Convergence Zone between its limits to the north and south of the equator.

Complete answer:
India is bordered on the east by the Bay of Bengal and on the west by the Arabian Sea; monsoons in India arrive as the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea branches.

The Bay of Bengal branch of the southwest monsoon blows in a north-easterly direction.
The Arabian Sea branch of the southwest monsoon strikes the Western Ghats of Kerala, India's coastal state, first, making this the first place to receive rain from the monsoon. This monsoon branch goes northwards towards the western side. Kerala was influenced by the Arabian Sea branch of the southwest monsoon.

Kerala does not experience continuous rains that halt all activities. For a few hours, it rains with sunny breaks. Rains may last for a few days on occasion, yet sunshine is never far away. The natural flow of existence is balanced by these precious interludes.

Kerala is mostly divided into two rainy seasons. The Southwest Monsoon, which arrives in June, is known as Edavappathy because it falls in the middle of the Malayalam calendar month of Edavam.

The Northeast Monsoon arrives in the middle of October. This month is known as Thulam in the Malayalam calendar, and so the name Thulavarsham, which means 'The Rains in Thulam.' Rain clouds collect in the Bay of Bengal and rush to Kerala through the Western Ghats' Palakkad Gap. On the wings of northeast winds, the swirling, jostling, billowing dark messenger of life is a breathtaking sight to see.

Thus Kerala was influenced by the Arabian Sea branch of the southwest monsoon.

Note: The Southwest Monsoons and the Northeast Monsoons are the two rainy seasons that Kerala experiences. In June, the Southwest Monsoons, also known as Edavappathy, come. Edavappathy refers to the arrival of rains in the middle of the Malayalam calendar month of Edavam. The Northeast Monsoons arrive in mid-October, in the Malayalam calendar month of Thulam, and are thus referred to as the Thulavarsham.
