Dear Student,

Please find below the answer to your question

India has unique pressure and wind conditions
The winter witnesses a high-pressure area in the north of the
Himalayas from where the cold dry winds blow towards the
low-pressure areas over the oceans to the south
A low-pressure area is developed in the summer all over
interior Asia as well as over northwestern India which in turn
causes the complete reversal of the wind's direction
Hence the above phenomena occur - "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 the Southwest Monsoon winds "
