The "monsoon" is defined as seasonal reversing wind accompanied by seasonal changes in precipitation, but is now used to describe seasonal changes atmospheric circulation and precipitation. Basically it will only happen during winter and summer, but only winter monsoon whereby affects the Malaysia, that's in the end of year, climax in December. As most of you know, the M'sia is located along the equator. Therefore, the Sun heats the equator at the most, and cause this equator becomes warmer and lower pressure compare to other regions Hence, we call the equator as "inter-tropical convergence zone, ITCZ" as well. During October, the northern hemisphere is getting into winter due to the south-moving of the ITCZ, and cause the southern hemisphere becomes summer. Since, northern region is mainly land mass, so it keeps the cold very well and very high in pressure. Due to the high pressure always flow to the lower pressure, hence it create the contrast of pressure gradient between northern and equator and the wind is created and flow from north to equator.
Along the path of wind flow, it passes through the major warm ocean and consequently, the wind brings along the moisture from the ocean and slowly creates the clouds to Malaysia.
Hopefully you will understand it, XD . You may ask me if have any doubts.
Okie, since now i'm staying in Kelantan, so here is quite seriously affected by monsoon.
this photo is taken from my condominium, you can see the dark clouds are approaching.
fyi, this type of cloud we name as "nimbostratus" . The nimbostratus usually will bring a long period of precipitations.
the cloud has covered the town entirely.
It's like, Armageddon?! wtf
Okie, raining now. It's just the beginning.
okie, now this is becoming worse. Visibility drops to the minimum!
the beginning of the flood
you can see that the water spill into the town.
the funny thing is, kelantan citizens love to play around in the flood!! wtf !?
They seem so enjoy with it.
