During winter, the wind starts to blow from the north-east.
Q. In which direction does the wind blows during southwest monsoon season?
This causes the winds to blow over the Indian subcontinent toward the Indian Ocean in a northeasterly direction, causing the northeast monsoon. Because the southwest monsoon flows from sea to land, it carries more moisture, and therefore causes more rain, than the northeast monsoon.
