Q.	The South West monsoon engulfs the entire India by –
A.	5th June
B.	15th June
C.	1st July
D.	15th July
Answer» D. 15th July
Explanation: Derived from the Arabic word 'mausam', monsoon implies a seasonal reversal in wind direction. These changes lead to changes in the seasonal distribution of rainfall and temperature. Although the Andaman & Nicobar Islands receive monsoon as early as mid-May, the southWest monsoon enters the subcontinent's mainland through the Kerala coast. The monsoon then gets divided into two parts: the Arabian Sea branch and the Bay of Bengal branch. It normally reaches Mangalore on the west coast and Vishakhapatnam on the east coast within four days.
