What is a monsoon?

What is a monsoon?
The word monsoon comes from the Arabic word 'mausim' which translates as 'season', which is suggestive of the seasonal nature of the monsoon and its associated rains.
A monsoon climate is characterized by a dramatic seasonal change in direction of the prevailing winds of a region which brings a marked change in rainfall.
The monsoon climate results in high annual rainfall totals exceeding 1.5 m (5 ft) in many places.

My country the Philippines is also heavily affected by the Monsoon Patterns. Why was it not highlighted? Indonesia too I believe is under the influence of this clmate pattern.

[@masterofpuppets5072]

They can't put everything in this video

[@mr.rachetphilanthrophist601]

Mainly india south and south east asia gets affected by monsoon. And i think due to some reason maybe due to indonesia being small he couldn't put it up in the vid or may be he has if you look video once more. But anyway i agree that indonesia's climate pattern is also affected by monsoon. Happy learning bro. Don't feel grudge against the video maker and try to learn as much as possible from the content.

[@shankysays]

Indian Monsoon is often called the unofficial Finance Minister of India because a lot of budget decision of govt are made on basis of the type of monsoon which will come.

[@Spectra12]

I think we should change our financial year so that we can decide budget according to monsoon

[@SaurabhSingh-ms5bk]

The word monsson comes from an Indian word "MAUSAM" which means weather. The fact that the indian civvillidation began first and monsoon happens in INDIA is the fact that this name is given from the INDISN culture and not the ARABIC one.

[@thembelihlemasina3018]

Can excess flood water be transported to desert land? A water balance.

[@shankysays]

thar desert is at higher elevation compared to the region which gets monsoon. thats why nturally water cant be moved to desert and using electricity to transport this water will be very very expensive.

[@Rahul-yi3wj]

Very well explained

[@kamerondonaldson5976]

landlocked deserts get monsoons too. what does the sea have to do with it?
