monsoon

Wind pattern that brings seasonally heavy rain to South Asia; it blows towards the sea in winter and towards the land in summer. The monsoon may cause destructive flooding all over India and Southeast Asia from April to September, leaving thousands of people homeless each year.

The monsoon cycle is believed to have started about 12 million years ago with the uplift of the Himalayas.
