What is the difference between north east trade winds and retreating mansoon?

The northeast trade winds are persistent winds that blow from the northeast toward the equator, primarily affecting tropical regions and contributing to consistent weather patterns. In contrast, the retreating monsoon refers to the seasonal reversal of winds in South Asia, where the southwest monsoon winds diminish and shift, leading to a transition from wet to dry conditions. While the trade winds are consistent and year-round, the retreating monsoon is a seasonal phenomenon that marks the end of the monsoon season.
