Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The Northeast Monsoon blows from the land (the Asian mainland) to the sea (Bay of Bengal) during the winter months (October to December), bringing rainfall to southern India.
Explanation:
Monsoon depressions are formed when low-pressure systems develop over land during the monsoon season, often intensifying over the Bay of Bengal and bringing heavy rainfall to central and western India.
