Domaine(s)
  • Climatologie
DEF

Remplacement de la mousson d'hiver par la mousson d'été et vice versa.

CONT

En été les dépressions thermiques continentales favorisent l'arrivée sur les continents de masses d'air maritime très humide accompagnées de nuages abondants et de précipitations, souvent diluviennes, c'est la saison des pluies; en hiver au contraire, les hautes pressions qui s'établissent sur les continents entraînent l'advection d'air continental beaucoup plus sec, c'est la saison sèche. Le renversement de la mousson caractérise le passage d'une saison à l'autre.
