What are the two kinds of monsoon?

The two main types of monsoon are the southwest monsoon and the northeast monsoon. The southwest monsoon occurs in the summer and brings heavy rainfall to regions like South Asia, driven by the temperature difference between land and ocean. In contrast, the northeast monsoon occurs during winter, primarily affecting southeastern India and parts of Southeast Asia, bringing dry conditions to some areas and rainfall to others. Both monsoons are crucial for agricultural practices in the regions they affect.
