Sir, Why all rains between june- sept are considered monsoon rains even some rainfall may be pre monsoon or post monsoon

Anoop: Monsoon rans are considered when the Monsoon parameters like SW winds and upper winds also being Sw set in...other parameters like humidity and jet streams have to be seasonal, like they are during monsoon. But rains in May, or before Monsoon winds and parameters set in are pre monsoon.
Likewise in North, rains will commence from WDs after the Monsoon conditions withdraw. sometimes there is confusion if rains are from WD or monsoon. Then we have to check the axis position and upper air if anticyclone is forming or not. Once the axis goes South, the WDs come in to bring rains in North.
Pre monsoon in North is convective, before the axis moves to the region.

Weather outlook from Thursday 25th to Sunday 28th April.  Mumbai: Typical Mumbai Summer with hot and humid weather expected till Friday 26t...
