Seasons of the World: Monsoon / Rains

Monsoon is a seasonal occurrence of rain bearing winds caused by precipitation. The major monsoon systems of the world consist of the (West) African and Asia-Australian. The Asia-Australian monsoon is the dominant monsoon in the world. Agriculture worldwide is dependent on monsoons to a large extent. Delay of a few days in their arrival can, and does badly affect the world economy.
