"Monsoon" is the name of a seasonal rainy period in tropical Asia and the Pacific Islands. This period covers approximately half of the year and is when the majority of the rainfall for the year will fall in this area. The monsoons are extremely heavy rains that last for extended periods of time and often result in annual flooding along the major rivers of Asia.
