Description: A map of the Indian Ocean from 1889 illustrating the wind patterns of the July monsoons. The map shows the region of greatest heat in July north of the equator over India and Southeast Asia, which draws warmer, moist air from the Indian Ocean northward, causing the seasonal wet period in India and the southern Asian region.
