Monsoon
Seasonal changes in atmospheric circulation and precipitation associated with the asymmetric heating of land and sea
Monsoon ▸ Facts ▸ Comments ▸ News ▸ Videos
A monsoon is traditionally a seasonal reversing wind accompanied by corresponding changes in precipitation, but is now used to describe seasonal changes in atmospheric circulation and precipitation associated with the asymmetric heating of land and sea. Usually, the term monsoon is used to refer to the rainy phase of a seasonally changing pattern, although technically there is also a dry phase. The term is sometimes incorrectly used for locally heavy but short-term rains.
