    The document discusses factors that determine monsoon rainfall such as temperature, terrain, plant cover, and pressure. It explains that advancing monsoons move from south to north in India due to low pressure in Rajasthan, while retreating monsoons are caused by low pressure in Tamil Nadu. Monsoons originate in the southern hemisphere and there are three types of rainfall: frontal, cyclonic, and conventional which is seen near the equator. Cherrapunji in Meghalaya receives the highest annual rainfall of 1100 cm.

    • Jet Streams move from West to East

    • Western Disturbances orginate in the Mediterranean Sea and move

    from west to east.

    • Retreating Monsoon is caused by low pressure (In India, by low

    pressure in Tamil Nadu)
