monsoon rains
Tropical wet season
Monsoon rains are the heavy seasonal rainfall brought by monsoon winds, especially in South and Southeast Asia.
The summer monsoon brings months of intense, often daily downpours that are crucial for agriculture but can cause devastating floods.
The monsoon rains arrived late this year, worrying farmers.
The term emphasizes the rainfall itself rather than the wind pattern that causes it.
