Key Points
- North-east trade winds are the winds that blow from the north-east direction towards the Indian subcontinent.
- These winds dominate India during the winter season, from November to February.
- They bring dry and cool air from the Himalayas towards the Indian plains, resulting in clear skies and low humidity.
- The North-east trade winds are also known as the winter monsoon winds, as they are responsible for the winter monsoon season in India.
Additional Information
- Autumn: During the autumn season, the monsoon winds start to withdraw from India, resulting in a transitional phase between the monsoon and winter seasons. The winds during this season are not dominated by the North-east trade winds.
- Monsoon: The monsoon season in India is dominated by the Southwest monsoon winds, which blow from the Arabian Sea towards the Indian subcontinent. These winds bring heavy rainfall to India and last from June to September.
- Summer: The summer season in India is dominated by the Southwest monsoon winds, which bring rainfall to most parts of the country. The North-east trade winds do not dominate India during this season.
