The Bay of Bengal branch also advances rapidly and arrives in Assam
in the first week of June. The lofty mountains causes the monsoon
winds to deflect towards the west over the Ganga plains.
Delhi generally receives the monsoon showers from the Bay of Bengal
branch by the end of June (tentative date is 29th of June). By the July
first week, western Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana and eastern
Rajasthan experience the monsoon. By mid-July, the monsoon reaches
Himachal Pradesh and the rest of the country.

End of the Monsoon
Withdrawal or the retreat of the monsoon is a more gradual
process. The withdrawal of the monsoon begins in north-western
states of India by early September. By mid-October, it withdraws
completely from the northern half of the peninsula. Then it
quickly withdraw from the southern half of the peninsula. By
early December, the monsoon has totally withdrawn from the
country.
The islands receive the very first monsoon showers, from south to
north, between the last week of April and the first week of May.
Then it withdraw from north to south during the first week of
December to the first week of January. By this time, the other
parts of the country is already influencing the winter monsoon.
During winter, the northeast trade winds blow from land to sea. So, most part of
the country faces a dry season. Some amount of rainfall occurs on the Tamil
Nadu coast from these winds as, trade winds blow from sea to land.
In the northern part of the country, a feeble high-pressure region develops, with
light winds moving outwards from this area. Influenced by the relief, these
winds blow through the Ganga valley from the west and the northwest. The
weather is normally marked by clear sky, low temperatures and low humidity
and feeble, variable winds.
