The sailors who came to India in historic times were one of the first to have noticed the phenomenon of monsoon. They benefitted from the reversal of the wind system as they came by sailing ships at the mercy of winds.

Tropical cyclones occur during the monsoon as well as in october. These cyclones originate in the Bay of Bengal, hit the eastern coast of India and cause heavy rains causing damage to life and property.

Air moves from the high pressure area over the southern Indian ocean, in a south-easterly direction, crosses the equator-, and turns right towards the low Pressure areas over the Indian subcontinent. these are known as South- west Monsoon Winds.

As the distance from the sea increases its moderating influence decreases and the people experience extreme weather conditions. This condition is known as continentality, i.e. very hot during summers and very cold during winters.
