The retreating monsoons occur during the months of October – November.
The retreating monsoon season in India follows the peak of the Southwest monsoon (June-September). As the low-pressure trough over the North Indian plains weakens and shifts southwards, the monsoonal winds retreat from the subcontinent.
This period is also associated with clear skies and anticyclonic conditions over large parts of India. However, the retreating monsoon picks up moisture from the Bay of Bengal and causes significant rainfall in some parts of the country, particularly the coastal regions of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Kerala (often referred to as the Northeast Monsoon in these areas).
