TYPES OF MONSOONS

AIL Project, Group 3

Introduction to monsoons
A monsoon is a seasonal change in the direction 
of the prevailing, or strongest, winds of a region. 
Monsoons cause wet and dry seasons throughout much of the tropics.

Note: The monsoon is responsible for roughly 80% of India's rainfall. For growing products such
as cotton, rice, oilseeds, and coarse grains, India's agriculture (which accounts for 25% of GDP
and employs 70% of the people) is primarily reliant on rains. As proven by the severe droughts in
India in the 1990s, a few days delay in the arrival of the monsoon can have a significant economic
impact.
TYPES OF MONSOONS
What are types of monsoon in India? India has two monsoons –- the southwest
monsoon and the northeast monsoon.

South-West monsoon

The period June to September is referred to as the 'Southwest Monsoon' period. Southwest Monsoon
period is the principal rainy season for the Indian subcontinent. This is the summer monsoon period where
the southwest monsoon holds away over the country.

North-East monsoon

Unlike the Indian Summer Monsoon, Northeast monsoon spans for 3 months (Oct-Nov-Dec) and covers merely 5
subdivisions of South India : Kerala & Mahe, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry & Karaikal, Coastal Andhra Pradesh &
Yanam, Rayalaseema and South Interior Karnataka

Rainy Season, or the wet season, is one among the four seasons when the
region’s average rainfall is achieved. It is generally caused due to changes
in the flow of winds and other geological factors. Generally, the rainy
season brings much-needed relief from the extreme heat of the preceding
summer season, replenishing the rivers and lakes. Plants that were
previously wilted spring to life in the rainy season. This is the season
where farmers look forward to, as rain becomes the saving grace for their
crops.

2. दक्षिण-पश्चिम मानसून, जो मुख्य मानसून है, समुद्र से आता
है और जून की शुरुआत में भारत के पश्चिमी तट पर अपना
रास्ता बनाना शुरू कर देता है।
3. जुलाई के मध्य तक देश का अधिकांश भाग वर्षा से ढक जाता

से धीरे-धीरे साफ होने लगता है।

4. अक्टू बर भारतीय त्योहारों के मौसम में एक चरम महीना है
और कई भारतीय परिवार दिवाली की छु ट्टियों के दौरान यात्रा
करते हैं, जिससे परिवहन और आवास की मांग बढ़ जाती है।

Monsoons means increased menace of mosquitoes - which breed in stagnant water.

This poses a threat of increase in spread of vector-borne diseases such as dengue, malaria and chikungunya. To
avoid it,  Telangana Health Department were directed to identify high-risk area where high number of the
vector-borne diseases were reported last year. A few of the high-risk areas are in Bhadradri Kothagudem,
Mulugu, Jayashankar Bhupalapally and Kumaram Bheem Asifabad. Some of the preventive measures include
indoor residual spray, release of Gambusia fish in stagnant water bodies, urging people to ensure water does not
stagnate in empty or broken vessels, in tires lying around home, or any other container.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Environmental protection

Artificial intelligence can tell whether it is going to rain in the next two hours, research
suggests..
Traditional methods use complex equations and often forecast for only between six
hours and two weeks' time.
AI system can make more accurate short-term predictions, including for critical
storms and floods.
Artificial intelligence helps in understanding past weather models, and this can make
decision-making faster,” Mohapatra told PTI.
The predictions of extreme weather phenomenon can be of tremendous value in
minimizing the damage caused, and plan to prevent casualties.
INTEGRATION TO HARYANA
TELANGANA
Telangana state is having three non-
attainment cities/towns (Hyderabad,
Nalgonda and Patancheruvu).
The CPCB issued directions under
section 18(I)(b) of Air (prevention and
control) Act to the Chairman, TSPCB
dated:01.07.2016 with various action
points and time frame for
implementation to lower the air
pollution in the nonattainment cities
in the country.
Also, a 42-point action plan was
attached for preparation of the action
plan.
HARYANA
Haryana emits nearly 2% of national
greenhouse gases (GHG).
Fossil fuel consumption, power
generation and agricultural activities
being major factors responsible
behind this.
It was shown earlier that forests in
Haryana are vulnerable to climate
change risks and any
afforestation/reforestation
programme to be implemented under
the Greening India Mission could also
be vulnerable to climate change
impacts.
