What do you understand by break in monsoon?

The seasonal reversal in wind direction during a year is called monsoon. Monsoon tends to have 'breaks' in rainfall; which means that there are wet and dry spells in between. The monsoon rains take place only for a few days at a time and then come the rainless intervals.During the Monsoon season, there are periods when the Monsoon trough shifts closer to the foothills of Himalayas, which leads to sharp decrease in rainfall over most parts of the country. ... Such a synoptic situation is known as the 'break'Monsoon period. OR. Break of monsoons is the break in the monsoonal rainfall.
