Description: A map of the Indian Ocean from 1889 illustrating the wind patterns of the January monsoons. The map shows the region of greatest heat in January south of the equator, which draws cooler, drier air from the Asian continent southward, causing the seasonal dry period in India and the southern Asian region.
