I may not be a knowall like you but I try to say what I have read
somewhere. I read this in Indian textbooks and learnt from my father
who has an interest in geography and has travelled all over the
Himalays - NE portion to Western Himalayas . Do not ask me to go
there and prove it all - neither can you- we say what we have read--
maybe what you read was taught only at IITs .

If we had to go by what is in the header, why do we even read what

**** Where do you fancy yourself in? Those who have the slightest
knowledge of monsoons in India or the clueless bunch who fancy
themselves the 'know-it-all' ?

I thought the insanity here was spewed by someone else who, being
clueless about simple high-school geography , unaware of the
direction of the main monsoons that bring rains to the NE, went
on to assert:
>Those with slightest knowledge of monsoon rains in India would
know----- The winds continue >westwards and causing floods in
usually desert areas .
What is this? Some new desi climatology? That the southwest
monsoons, not being able to unload its moisture in the NE, swerves
back to the west in a sudden acute angle move and go drop its load
in Rajasthan?
For your info, the monsoons that bring rains to Assam, is
different from the one that brings rains to the Western Ghats or
to Rajasthan or to Delhi and farther up. It is not the one that
does a left-right-left-right and about -turn from Assam.
Westrern/northwestern Indian monsoons don't happen until later June
and early July, whereas the NE area monsoons arrive almost a month
earlier.
No, it is not because it takes that much time to take an about turn
from Assam and marching thru the Gangetic plains arrives in
Rajasthan a month later.

C-da,
I expected something more sane from you. You are debating about a
non issue - does it matter whether the wind come from St Louis ,
Missouri (your house) to reach Assam. The moot point is Assam has
very less flood time - only a week!!!!!! Which is blown out of
proportion by those who sy if flood is not tacled Assam cannot
develop.
Any pearls of wisdom from a supporter of ULFA like yourself. May I
remind you ULFA is branded a terrorist organization by USA in 2005.
How very patriotic of you!!!

Does Umesh the renowned, Harvard trained climatologist know what the
direction of the monsoon winds that bring rains to Assam and the
contiguous region are? Can he explain how it turns towards the west
all of a sudden? It would be very interesting to learn.
But something tells me we will be deprived of that bit of Rajasthani science.

Hi,
While discussing with Ahsan-da Aziz the maker of the film
http://www.sonam.net.tc/
I learnt many things which might surprise some .
For one despite having ample water Assam imports fish from South
India - strange trade. The eggs are hatched in Assam , roe (young
little fish) are raised in Assam's fish farm - then they are sent
to Andhra Pradesh where they grwo and then brought all the way
back to be sold in Guwahati's fish markets ( a regular place where
ULFA places the bombs and kills civilians and also at the vegetable
market).
About floods I am told it is a week long activity in Assam - only
one week!! or ten days - and that due to global warming the
moisture is transported to deserts of Rajasthan which are seeing
unheard of floods in areas which never received any rains at all.
Cherapoonji - world's wettest place has seen no rains since all
that rainwater has shifted onwards to drop on Mumbai causing
massive unheard of floods.
Those with slightest knowledge of monsoon rains in India would know
that warm moisture laden winds flow inwards towards Assam and rest
of NE India in Spring onwards and when they reach Himalayas they
rise higher and cool down to form rain. Now it doesn't cool down
enough so no rain for NE India for past 2 years. (which have seen
ground water disappear over the years due to excessive population
and irrigation) thus I am sure thse guys are not complaing about
unheard of floods.
