In Bangladesh, the monsoons have started. Major wind system that seasonally reverses its direction (e.g., one that blows for six months from the northeast and six months from the southwest). The most prominent examples occur in Africa and southern Asia. The primary cause of monsoons is the difference between annual temperature trends over land and sea. Seasonal changes in temperature are large over land but small over oceans. A monsoon blows from cold toward warm regions: from sea toward land in summer and from land toward sea in winter. Most summer monsoons produce copious amounts of rain; winter monsoons tend to cause drought; a periodic wind caused by the effects of differential heating, with the largest being the Indian monsoon found in the Indian Ocean and southern Asia; In the typical area of the Indian subcontinent and southeast India it is the seasonal inflowing moist winds that bring rain; A weather season characterized by very heavy rainfall that affects the regions that border the Indian Ocean, especially in the Arabian Sea The very heavy rainfall appears to result from a reversal of seasonal wind direction that blows from the southwest during one half of the year and from the northeast during the other; Persistent seasonal winds which, during summer, bring copious amounts of moisture from the ocean and dump it on land; The seasonal weather pattern of South Asia The wet season is from June to October while the dry monsoon is between February and May; A wind blowing part of the year from one direction, alternating with a wind from the opposite direction; a term applied particularly to periodical winds of the Indian Ocean, which blow from the southwest from the latter part of May to the middle of September, and from the northeast from about the middle of October to the middle of December; A persistent seasonal wind, often responsible for seasonal precipitation regime; Persistent, widespread, seasonal winds that seasonally reverse directions Usually summer winds from the ocean bring rain, while winter winds from the land are dry; A regional scale wind system that predictably change direction with the passing of the seasons Monsoon winds blow from land to sea in the winter, and from sea to land in the summer Summer monsoons are often accompanied with precipitation; A seasonal wind of persistent direction, characterized by a pronounced change in direction between seasons; refers to a particular seasonal weather pattern in subtropical regions, especially when characterized by periods of heavy winds and rainfall Monsoons are caused by a pronounced seasonal change in wind direction Winds usually blow from land to sea in winter, while in the summer this reverses, bringing precipitation Monsoons are most typical in India and southern Asia; A wind from the southwest or south that brings heavy rainfall to southern Asia in the summer
