  1. (i) This is the transition period during the months of October and
    November.
    (ii) with the apparent movement of the sun towards the south, the low
    pressure trough over the northern plains becomes weaker. This is
    gradually replaced by a high pressure system.
    (iii) The south-west monsoon winds weaken and start withdrawing gradually.
    (iv) By the beginning of October, the monsoon withdraws from the northern
    plains.
    (v) The months of October and November form a period of transition from
    hot rainy season to dry winter conditions.
    (vi) when monsoons retreat, skies get clear and the temperature rises.
    (vii) while day temperatures are high, nights are cool and pleasant. The land
    is still moist.
    (viii) owing to the conditions of high temperature and humidity, the weather
    becomes oppressive during the day. This is commonly known as October
    Heat.
    (ix) The low pressure conditions get transferred to the Bay of Bengal by
    early November.
    (x) The cyclonic depressions originate from the Andaman sea and cause
    heavy and widespread rains on the eastern coast.
