Monsoon Winds

[Asad]

Can anybody give me Best reasons for monsoon rainfall???

 

[Zohaib Sherazi]

In summer land heats up faster than the water in the oceans because water has a high specific heat capacity. Air over land get sheated up, becomes less dense and rises. Cold, moist air from the oceans blows over the land. When this air is uplifted by mountain edges and due to convection, it cools adiabatically. When the dew point is reached clouds are formed and rainfall occurs. Usually as thunderstorms.

U r connecting it with CONVECTIONAL rain and also THUNDERSTORMS,
why???

 

[Zohaib Sherazi]

Convection is related to uplift of air due to heating hence creating a pressure difference for winds to flow. Thunderstorm is the nature of the resulting rainfall.

couldnt we mention about how there is a high pressure over bay of bengal and winds move from there towards north india and tail end reaches the northern areas of pakistan where there is a low pressure and the mountains make winds rise up.clouds are formed and rainfall occurs.
