Answer;

Monsoon winds

A monsoon wind is a wind that usually blows great amounts of moisture into an area.

Step-by-step explanation;

-Monsoon is a major wind system that seasonally reverses its direction; such as one that blows for about six months from the northeast and six months from the southwest. The seasonal wind shift is usually accompanied by a dramatic change in precipitation.

-The best known example of a monsoon occurs over the Indian subcontinent. In summer, the sun warms the land and the air above it. With cooler air lying over the oceans that surround the subcontinent, a horizontal pressure gradient is established that generates winds directed from the ocean to land.
