In this session, we will be discuss Indian Monsoon from Indian Geography, which is important part of UPSC syllabus.
Here’s a concise summary of the Indian Monsoon for UPSC preparation:
1. What is the Indian Monsoon?
The Indian Monsoon refers to the seasonal reversal of winds accompanied by heavy rainfall, primarily occurring in the Indian subcontinent during the summer season. It is a defining feature of India's climate, affecting agriculture, water resources, and the economy.
2. Mechanism of Monsoon
Differential Heating: The landmass of India heats up faster than the surrounding water bodies (Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea), creating a low-pressure zone over the Indian subcontinent.
High-Pressure Area: The Indian Ocean and the surrounding seas maintain a relatively high-pressure area during summer.
Wind Reversal: As a result, moisture-laden winds from the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea are drawn towards the land, moving from high pressure to low pressure, bringing rains.
Southwest Monsoon: This is the summer monsoon that brings about 80% of India’s total rainfall. It occurs from June to September.
Northeast Monsoon: Occurs during the winter months (October to December) when the winds reverse, blowing from the northeast. It mainly brings rainfall to Tamil Nadu and the southeastern coast.
3. Factors Influencing Monsoon
ITCZ (Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone): The ITCZ shifts northward in summer, attracting the moisture-laden southwest monsoon winds.
El Niño and La Niña: El Niño weakens the Indian monsoon, while La Niña strengthens it by impacting sea surface temperatures in the Pacific.
Tibetan Plateau Heating: The intense heating of the Tibetan Plateau during summer aids in the establishment of the monsoon by creating low pressure.
Jet Streams: The position of the subtropical westerly jet stream and easterly jet stream influences the onset and withdrawal of the monsoon.
4. Stages of Monsoon
Onset: The monsoon typically hits the Indian mainland around June 1st, starting from the Kerala coast.
Progression: It then spreads northward to cover the entire subcontinent by mid-July.
Withdrawal: The monsoon begins to withdraw from the northwest by early September, completely retreating by October.
5. Impact of Indian Monsoon
Agriculture: Indian agriculture, particularly kharif crops like rice, depends heavily on monsoon rains. Poor monsoon leads to droughts and agricultural failure.
Water Resources: Monsoon is vital for recharging rivers, lakes, and groundwater reserves across India.
Economy: A good monsoon boosts economic activities, especially in the rural sector, while a weak monsoon affects crop yields and increases inflation.
Floods and Droughts: While the monsoon brings much-needed rains, it can also cause floods in some regions (like Bihar and Assam) and droughts in others (like Rajasthan).
6. Monsoon Variability
Inter-annual variability: Some years experience more rainfall (excess monsoon), while others experience less (deficient monsoon).
Regional Disparity: Regions like the Western Ghats receive heavy rainfall, while areas like Rajasthan and Gujarat remain relatively dry due to the uneven distribution of monsoon.
7. Recent Changes and Challenges
Climate Change: Rising global temperatures have been altering monsoon patterns, making rainfall less predictable and more extreme (either floods or droughts).
Urban Flooding: Rapid urbanization and poor drainage systems in cities like Mumbai and Chennai have led to frequent flooding during monsoon seasons.
8. Monsoon in India’s Culture
The monsoon is deeply embedded in India’s culture, celebrated through festivals like Onam, and has great significance in Indian literature, music, and daily life.
Understanding the Indian monsoon is critical for UPSC as it touches on various themes like climatology, agriculture, economy, and disaster management

Sir your voice is soothens to ears and this vedio is creating a pictographical memory in minds of veiwers. Thanku so much for such great efforts.

[@suchismitadc5650]

As the South west Monsoon wind blow over the Indian Ocean its has huge number of moisture in it which is why rainfall occurred. But north east Monsoon wind blow over land for that this wind brings dryness, as it has less moisture in it.

Mozambique current Madagascar area me develop kaise hota hai? Aisa toh nahi hoga yeh current apne aap generate hota hai.

[@myselfyuvi]

In June, It is the winter season there. So water gets cold and form high pressure zone. At the same time India gets hot as this is summer time here. So India forms a low pressure zone.
