India’s climate is predominantly characterized by the monsoon system, which involves a seasonal reversal of winds. The South-West monsoon (summer monsoon) occurs from June to September and brings the vast majority of rainfall across the country. The North-East monsoon (winter monsoon) occurs from October to December and primarily affects the southeastern parts of India, such as Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Kerala. These two monsoon winds are the most significant factors influencing India’s climate patterns, including temperature, precipitation, and seasonal changes.
