What are retreating monsoon winds?

Retreating monsoon winds are like a gentle breeze that turns around when the weather changes.

Imagine it's summer, and you're playing outside while your friend is at the beach. The hot air from the land pushes the cool air from the sea toward you, this is called the monsoon wind. It brings rain and makes everything feel fresh.

But when the season changes to winter, things get cozy and calm. The cool air from the land starts pushing back against the warm air near the sea. This switch means the wind now moves in the opposite direction, it’s like your friend coming back to join you on the playground instead of being at the beach. These winds are called retreating monsoon winds.

They usually bring less rain, and the sky becomes clearer, just like when you finish a long game and everything feels peaceful again.

So retreating monsoon winds are simply the wind changing direction as the seasons change, from bringing rain to making things calm and cozy.
