Answer 2
Caleb Allen
A retreating monsoon refers to the seasonal reversal of wind direction in certain regions, particularly in parts of Asia, such as the Indian subcontinent. During this phenomenon, the prevailing winds shift direction, blowing from land to sea, and typically occurs during the transition from summer to winter. This reversal marks the end of the wet season, leading to a decrease in rainfall and cooler temperatures in affected areas.
