South-west monsoon withdrawal MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

The retreat of the south-west monsoon begins from north-western India first, and the Punjab plains are among the early areas to see this withdrawal. By mid-September, the monsoon normally starts retreating from this region. Mid-July is far too early because the monsoon is still active over much of north India then. Mid-October is later than the initial withdrawal from Punjab, though retreat continues elsewhere. December belongs to the north-east monsoon season over the south-east coast, not the withdrawal from Punjab.
