...the Sky erupts. Through swirling clouds, closed all way to the horizon, poured a solid stream of water. The rain as from a bucket, and like thousands of buckets, hits the roofs and trees. Because of the water jets visibility is no more than a dozen meters. From time to time, the gloom illuminated by bright flashes of lightning, thunder shakes everything around... it's Hard to imagine that this weather can last for several weeks.

monsoon rain

This is a terrible phenomenon - the monsoon rain. Dangerous and beautiful at the same time, as it became the basis of life of the population of many countries. In South and Southeast Asia the onset of the monsoon season, waiting with hope and anxiety. The delay of the wet season causes drought. But excessive rains cause floods. Both are fraught with unfavorable consequences.

How monsoon rains are formed?

Monsoon is a type of the winds acting on the border of the ocean and a large landmass. Their main feature is seasonality, that is, they change direction depending on the time of year. Due to different degrees of heating and cooling of continents and the surrounding waters are formed in different air pressure. The pressure gradient and is the cause of the winds blowing in summer from the ocean to the land, and in winter Vice versa. The summer monsoon moves from the sea and brings moist air. Clouds arising from the saturated water vapor oceanic air masses become the source of monsoon rains.

Countries with monsoon climate

More likely the effect of the monsoon is manifested in the climate of South Asia: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka. For the first time about these winds Europeans learned from the Arab travelers. Therefore the Arabic word "mausim" meaning "season", somewhat modified in the French language, was the name for the monsoon.

The Wet winds that bring in summer precipitation from the ocean, characteristic of Eastern and South-East Asia. China, Cambodia, Vietnam and other countries in the development of agriculture are also required to monsoon rains.

There is also the North American monsoon, the current in the Eastern United States. In Russia, the influence of seasonal winds is evident to the South of the Far East.

Monsoon rain - the long-awaited event

The Inhabitants of the countries with monsoon climate, always trembling, waiting for the summer rains, since their occurrence depends on the beginning of agricultural work. The soil is parched during the dry period, again saturated with moisture. Refill water in rivers and lakes accumulate a large volume in the reservoirs. This precious liquid is then used in the dry season to irrigate the fields.

monsoon season began

The monsoon Season begins with joy and rejoicing over the long-awaited freshness, decay heat, which lasted several months. There is a bright greens begin to flower many plants. This is the heyday of nature. Importantly, the monsoon season has started on time. Then usually without unpleasant surprises.

The Rains are not only the good

Time began the monsoon rain is the hope for a good harvest. But often, the amount of precipitation exceeds all standards. The result is that a happy event turns into a disaster.

In September 2014, wrote about the floods in India and Pakistan. A few late wet season marked the continuing for several days of monsoon rains, than provoked powerful floods. The Ganges river and its tributaries burst their banks, inundating the surrounding countryside, along with hundreds of villages. The number of victims has reached several hundred.

Saturated with water, loose rocks began to move down, not pinned to the forest slopes of hills and mountains. The result was hundreds of large and small landslides, exacerbating the scale of the disaster. Blurry and flooded roads hampered the arrival of the rescue and evacuation of population from dangerous areas.monsoon rains than provoked

Causes catastrophic consequences

Of Course, the monsoon rain is of high intensity has led to such adverse consequences. But there are still a few reasons not directly associated with precipitation. The first of these is that the majority of the population in these countries lives in the floodplains of major rivers, where more fertile soil and where drought is easier to provide the irrigation of fields.

The Second reason is deforestation of the slopes of the Himalayas, the foothills and steep slopes of the Deccan plateau. Forests under the loose layer of plant litter absorbs a lot of moisture seeping through it and replenishing the groundwater reserves. In addition, the roots of trees hold together the soil particles, allowing you to involve them in the movement down the slope in the composition of the landslide mass or debris flows.

The Conclusion seems simple: to stop deforestation on the mountain slopes and take measures to restore vegetation cover. But in countries where most rural people can use as fuel for cooking and heating in the cold season only firewood, a ban on felling of trees will cause problems.

Monsoons in the Russian far East

The Monsoon is characteristic for the southern part of the Pacific coast of Russia. Here dry and cold winter, and summers are oftenjust overcast and rainy. Moist air masses coming from the Japan and Okhotsk seas, bring a large amount of precipitation. Monsoon season in the Primorsky and Khabarovsk territories is at the end of summer and beginning of autumn. So the rivers here are not bottled in the spring, in the middle lane, and in August-September.

2013 was the year of the far Eastern regions of Russia is very complex due to the catastrophic flood on the Amur river and its tributaries. The flood caused enormous damage to economy and population.

monsoon season

To solve the problem are proposed various measures, among which are the regulation of river flow through construction of reservoirs and protection of the settlements flood control dams. It is also necessary to move people from the most dangerous areas on nezateylevaya territory.

Monsoon rains - a source of much needed moisture in different parts of the globe. This fearsome natural phenomenon that can be very dangerous. But the useful qualities of the monsoons is much more important for people, especially those in tropical agriculture.
