  • The southeast monsoon season is not a part of the four seasons of India.
  • The India Meteorological Department (IMD) designates four official seasons:
  1. The cold weather season or winter season- Mid-December through mid-March is considered the Winter Season.
  2. The hot weather season or summer season- Mid-March to May is considered the Summer Season. It is characterized mostly by high temperatures and little humidity. Pre-monsoon season is another name for the hot weather season.
  3. Southwest monsoon season- The southwest monsoon season has a sudden onset of rain. The initial downpour has the impact of sharply decreasing the temperature.
  4. Retreating monsoon season or cool season- Monsoons are known to retreat in october and november, hence called retreating monsoons.
