during summer, when the over the land is heated, the warm air rises and a low pressure system develops over the land. when the air rises , cool air from the south-west which originated over the sea, rushes in to take its place. this air contains water vapour and it will become heated and will also rise. as it rises, the water vapour condenses forming clouds and so it rains. summers in monsoon Asia are therefore hot and wet. the south-west monsoon is called "hulhangu" in Maldives and last from 08 April to 09 December.
