How does the monsoon climate affect the living of people?
Example One:The monsoon accounts for 80% of the rainfall in India. Indian
agriculture (which accounts for 25% of the GDP and employs 70% of the
population) is heavily dependent on the rains, for growing crops
especially like cotton, rice, oilseeds
and coarse grains. A delay of a few days in the arrival of the monsoon
can badly affect the economy, as evidenced in the numerous droughts in
India in the 1990s.
Example Two:The monsoon is widely welcomed and appreciated by city-dwellers as
well, for it provides relief from the climax of summer heat in June.Example Three: However, the condition of the roads take a battering each year. Often houses and streets are waterlogged and the slums
are flooded in spite of having a drainage system. This lack of city
infrastructure coupled with changing climate patterns causes severe
economical loss including damage to property and loss of lives, as
evidenced in the Mumbai floods of 2005. Bangladesh and certain regions of India like Assam and West Bengal, also frequently experience heavy floods during this season. And in the recent past, areas in India that used to receive scanty rainfall throughout the year, like the Thar Desert, have surprisingly ended up receiving floods due to the prolonged monsoon season.Example Four:
The influence of the Southwest Monsoon is felt as far north as in China's Xinjiang. It is estimated that about 70% of all precipitation in the central part of the Tian Shan
mountains falls during the three summer months, when the region is
under the monsoon influence; about 70% of that is directly of
"cyclonic" (i.e., monsoon-driven) origin (as opposed to "local convection").
