The word ‘monsoon’has been derived from the Arabic word ‘Mausim’ which means ‘season’. Originally, the word ‘monsoon’ was used
by Arab navigators several centuries ago, to describe a system of seasonal reversal of winds along the shores of the Indian Ocean, especially over the
Arabian Sea. It blows from the south-west to north-east during summer and from the north- east to south-west during winter. During this season, the vertical rays of the sun falls over the peninsular India. Hence, there
is a steady increase in temperature from south to north. It is practically hot and dry in the entire country in the initial part of this season.
Weather over the land areas of the country is influenced by thunderstorms associated with rain and sometimes with hail mostly in the
middle and later part.During this season, temperature starts increasing all over the country and by April, the interior parts of south India record mean daily temperatures of 30°C–35°C. Central Indian land mass becomes hot with day-time maximum temperature reaching about 40°C
at many locations.

Because of the atmospheric pressure conditions, the winds blow from southwest to northeast direction in Arabian Sea and Bay of
Bengal. They bring pre monsoon showers to the west coast during the month of May. There are few thunder showers called “Mango Showers”
which helps in quick ripening of mangoes along the coast of Kerala and Karnataka “Norwesters” or “Kalbaisakhis” are the local storms with thunder that blow from north western part and rain lasting for short durations.It occurs over the eastern and north eastern parts over Bihar, West Bengal and Assam during April and May.
