Usually, the term monsoon is used to refer to the rainy phase of a seasonally- changing pattern, although technically there is also a dry phase.windprecipitation The term was first used in English in British India (now India, Bangladesh and Pakistan) and neighboring countries to refer to the big seasonal winds blowing from the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea in the southwest bringing heavy rainfall to the area.
