It usually starts in June and ends in September. During this time, the state receives heavy rainfall, which can lead to floods. The risk of floods is highest in the months of July and August.<\/p>\n<p>The monsoon season is caused by the difference in temperature between the land and the ocean. The land heats up faster than the ocean, which creates a low-pressure system over the land. This low-pressure system draws in moisture from the ocean, which causes the monsoon rains.<\/p>\n<p>The monsoon rains are essential for the agriculture and economy of Kerala. However, they can also cause damage to property and infrastructure. The state government has taken steps to mitigate the risk of floods, such as building dams and reservoirs.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The summer months are the dry season in Kerala.<\/li>\n<li>The winter months are the cool season in Kerala.<\/li>\n<li>Floods can occur all year round in Kerala, but the risk is highest during the monsoon season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Summer months&#8221;
