![]() ![]() Global winds are generally distinguished from local winds, but the monsoon must be considered a hybrid of sorts. See also World Atlas, under global winds. In India the term is popularly applied chiefly to the southwest monsoon and to the rain which it brings. In Europe, the prevailing west to northwest winds have also been described as monsoons. Monsoon type winds have been identified on the west and gulf coasts of the US, in northern Australia, in Africa (except in the Mediterranean. Monsoons are strongest on the southern and eastern sides of Asia, but monsoons also occur on other coasts when the prevailing atmospheric circulation is not strong enough to inhibit them. ![]() See also statistics of monsoon winds in G162. An extended discussion of this wind pattern is given at the end of this note. View Pressures and Winds over the Indian ocean in the World Atlas to see the correlation, and see section Global winds of that book for an illustration. Other factors such as the relief features of the land also have a considerable effect. Hence the winds are behaving like large scale sea and land breezes. The primary cause is the much greater annual variation of temperature over large land areas compared with the neighboring ocean surfaces, causing an excess of pressure over the continents in winter (see Siberian High) and a deficit in summer (Asian Low). Light to moderate rainfall at many places, with isolated heavy falls are likely over Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura on October 24, the IMD said.|| Starpath online classroom || Marine Weather Glossary || Glossary Index || Home ||Ī B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y ZĪ name for seasonal winds first applied to the winds over the Arabian Sea, which blow for 6 months from the northeast (northeast monsoon) and for 6 months from the southwest (southwest monsoon), but now extended to other parts of the world. The rains may also lead to damage to horticulture and standing crops in some areas due to inundation and squally winds and riverine flooding in some river catchments. It added that there is a possibility of landslides in hilly areas of northeastern states, occasional reduction in visibility due to heavy rainfall and disruption of traffic in cities. Issuing an impact-based forecast for the northeastern states, the IMD said localised flooding of roads, water logging in low-lying areas and closure of underpasses mainly in urban areas is expected. This is the third low pressure area that developed in the Bay of Bengal in October and second to intensify into a depression. Low pressure area is the first stage of any cyclone and a well-marked low pressure area is the second stage. The depression is expected to abate and become a well-marked low pressure area by October 24. “Due to this, light to moderate rainfall at most places, with heavy to very heavy falls (115.6-204.4 mm/day) are likely at a few places, and extremely heavy falls at isolated places are very likely over Tripura, heavy to very heavy falls at a few places Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, south Assam and Meghalaya are likely,” the IMD said. The IMD said the depression is very likely to cross West Bengal and adjoining Bangladesh coasts between Sagar Islands (West Bengal) and Khepupara (Bangladesh) over the Sundarbans on Friday. NEW DELHI: Depression over the Bay of Bengal will bring heavy rain to the northeastern states of Tripura, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Assam and Meghalaya, the Cyclone Warning Division of the India Meteorological Department said on Friday. ![]()
