Rainfall is primarily produced by the monsoonal low during summer ; in winter, when the vast Siberian High dominates due to radiative cooling from further north, the area receives little precipitation.

The inferred palaeoclimate of the Dockum Group would have been subtropical and governed by a distinct dry / wet season pattern, with the latter marked by monsoonal rains.

Rainfall is however less heavy than in most parts of mainland Japan since the island is too far south to be influenced by the Aleutian Low and too far from Asia to receive monsoonal rainfall or orographic precipitation on the equatorward side of the Siberian High.

Amid monsoonal rains and suffering heavy casualties from the fighting as well as tropical diseases, the advance took a heavy toll on the Chindits ; they were facing over 4, 000 Japanese and by the end of the first week the brigade, having started with over 2, 000 men, was down to just 550 and each battalion was at company strength.

Its weather is dominated year round by monsoonal flow.

Climate is greatly influenced by elevation, with the low-lying portions having a wet-dry ( monsoonal ) pattern.

The sediment of the lower delta plain is primarily advected inland by monsoonal coastal setup and cyclonic events.

It was important to address the fundamental oceanographic problems linked to monsoonal cycles experienced by the northern Indian Ocean ; chemical characteristics of the water column ; abundance and distribution of food resources like fish productivity and to understand the geology of the Indian Ocean through sea bed mapping and sampling.

In boreal summer ( northern hemisphere summer ) characterized by the south-easterly monsoon, the westward current dominates ; during boreal winter ( northern hemisphere winter ) under the influence of the northwesterly monsoonal winds, the eastward flow dominates.

Campbell noted that the fleets of fast Macassan fishing vessels, propelled by monsoonal winds, reached Australia after being at sea for as little as ten to fifteen days, well within the incubation period of smallpox.

On May 15, a monsoonal trough associated with a low pressure area formed north west of the Philippines. On May 17 the low pressure area started to drift across northern philippines, and rapidly intensified into a tropical storm before quickly dissipating due to vertical wind shear on May 20. The remnants were soon absorbed by a non-tropical low on May 22.

The Kimberley has an extremely hot monsoonal climate with average annual rainfall ranging from 500 to 1, 500 millimetres ( 20 – 60 in ), but there is a very long almost rainless season from April to November.

Rubber vine prefers areas where annual rainfall is between 400 and 1400 millimetres ( mm ), and is well adapted to a monsoonal climate.

Its climate is subtropical monsoonal, with an annual average temperature of 18. 1 ℃, a monthly average temperature of 7. 2 ℃ in January, 28. 3 ℃ in July, an annual total rainfall of 1131. 3mm, and frost-free period of 330 days.

Flooding of a creek due to heavy monsoonal rain and high tide in Darwin, Northern Territory | Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia.

The clays and blacksoils of the Top End typically develop deep cracks as they dry after the monsoonal summer rains, which persist right through the eight-month dry season until the wet begins again, usually producing floods that force small creatures like the Long-tailed Planigale to seek refuge on high ground.

One of the most significant rainfall events occurred in 2010 when a monsoonal low from ex-Cyclone Olga created a period of exceptional rainfall.

During the northern winter, an anticyclone develops over the Sahara and drives dry northeasterly winds over the region, creating a dry season except in the extreme southeast ( where the monsoonal low over Southern Africa has the unusual effect of producing westerly winds on its northern flank north of the equator ).

Most of the rain is associated with monsoonal troughs formed over Southeast Asia, although occasionally tropical

The Sahara Desert, for instance, is almost uniformly hot and dry, whereas weather trends on the Indian subcontinent and in the western Pacific, for instance, the monsoonal belt, occur gradually over the very long term, and the diurnal weather patterns remain constant.

Heavy rain owing to the influence of La Niña had been occurring over the catchment of the Hunter River since October 1954 when, on 23 February 1955, an extremely intense monsoonal depression developed over southern Queensland and moved southwards.

Two areas outside the temperate zone demonstrated the climatic diversity of the Soviet Union: the Soviet Far East, under the influence of the Pacific Ocean, with a monsoonal climate ; and the subtropical band of territory extending along the southern coast of the Soviet Union's most popular resort area, Crimea, through the Caucasus and into Soviet Central Asia, where there were deserts and oases.

The surface currents of the Indian Ocean also have a monsoonal regime associated with the Asian Monsoonal wind regime.

The territory has a monsoonal / anti-cyclonic climate, with warm, wet, humid summers due to the influence of the East Asian monsoon ; and cold, dry, windy conditions prevailing in the winter months courtesy of the Siberian high-pressure system.

This occurs because the position of Manchuria is on the boundary between the great Eurasian continental landmass and the huge Pacific Ocean causes complete monsoonal wind reversal.

The climate is monsoonal and has marked wet and dry seasons of relatively equal length.

Hong Kong's climate is subtropical and monsoonal with cool dry winters and hot wet summers.

As the flood did not start filling the lake's deepest point ( Belt Bay ) until late March little bird life appeared preferring instead to nest in the upper reaches of the Lake Eyre Basin, north of Birdsville, where large lakes appeared in January as a result of monsoonal rain.

The Miocene Epoch is of particular interest to geologists and palaeoclimatologists as major phases of Himalayan Uplift had occurred during the Miocene Epoch affecting monsoonal patterns in Asia, which were interlinked with Northern Hemisphere glaciation.

Rainfall in the valley varies between and per year, the bulk of which is received during the monsoonal wet season.

Regions further south average except when monsoonal cloud cover is active.

Annual precipitation is, the vast majority of which occurs during summer, due to monsoonal influences.
