Read the passage/case study carefully and answer the questions:

The Indian monsoon is the most prominent of the world’s monsoon systems, and primarily affects India and its surrounding water bodies. It blows from the northeast during cooler months and reverses direction to blow from the southwest during the warmest months of the year. This process brings large amounts of rainfall to the region during June and July.

What is meant by the bursting of the monsoon?

Why does the Tamil Nadu coast remain dry during the southwest monsoon?

What is the direction of winds in Kerala during the retreating monsoon?
