The Asian Monsoon - The World's Largest Weather System

The Asian Monsoon - the world’s largest weather system. Affecting almost half of the world’s population, from the blistering heat of India, to the frigid north of Siberia. In this video we look at the dynamics that great the great change in winds every season, and show real places in Asia which are affected by this.

Dry winters and wet summers define the Asian Monsoon, from India, Nepal and Bangladesh, through Vietnam, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan to Korea, Japan, Mongolia and Siberian Russia in the north. This is the only part of the world where such wet and dry seasons exist outside the tropics.

The dynamics that drive the Indian Monsoon and the East Asian Monsoon is the seasonal movement of the ITCZ (Intertropical Convergence Zone) back and forth. In India, the summertime produces the Southwest Monsoon blows in from the Indian Ocean bringing heavy rain, while in winter, the Northeast Monsoon prevails, bringing dry cool winds from the Himalayas.

The Indian Monsoon produces the wettest places on earth with Mawsynram and Cherrapunji in Meghalaya State, India, both experiencing more than 12 meters of rain per year.

The East Asian Monsoon produces the snowiest places on earth, along the NW coast of Japan when Siberian winds blow across the Sea of Japan in winter, collecting frigid moisture that is then dumped on cities like Sapporo in Hokkaido.

The Asian Monsoon has a dramatic effect on the climate of India, the climate of Japan, the climate of Korea and the climate of China. The Climate of Northern Australia is also affected, being opposite to the continent of Asia in regard to the Asian Monsoon.

This in-depth study of the Asian Monsoon is essential preparation for the IAS Exam and UPSC Exams of the Indian Civil Service.
