Monsoon
Monsoon (
UK: ;
US: ) is traditionally defined as a seasonal reversing
wind accompanied by corresponding changes in
precipitation, but is now used to describe seasonal changes in atmospheric circulation and precipitation associated with the asymmetric heating of land and sea. Usually, the term monsoon is used to refer to the rainy phase of a seasonally changing pattern, although technically there is also a dry phase.
