@MrigDixit For centuries, winds have played a crucial role in almost all voyages navigating long distances through rough seas. One such seasonal wind that sailors historically used to reach India was the #Monsoon.
@MrigDixit As it implies from its likely origin from the Arabic word Mawsim, the monsoon is nothing but a periodic seasonal wind. It is the dominant feature of India’s climate, which brings around 80% of the total precipitation across the country.

@iitbombay "#CycloneAmphan pulled the monsoon trough over Andaman islands in mid-May, and #CycloneNisarga later pulled the monsoon trough onto the mainland. These cyclones unusually led to the 2020 #monsoon season arriving over India right on time.": Raghu Murtugudde on #LetsTalkWeather
@iitbombay "This year, #MumbaiRains have been mostly during evenings & nights. This may have led many Mumbaikars to think the city hasn’t received a lot of rainfall this season, but statistics indicate otherwise.": @weathercast's @akshaydeoras on #LetsTalkWeather

Engineering a City #thread
Having spent my entire childhood in #Kochi (#Cochin ), it feels criminal to not know the story of how the city came to be the #metropolis it is today. Putting together a thread to trace the journey of the city which has been so endearingly mine (1)
Part 1: The #Malabar Mud-Banks
The story of Cochin is not just about how an engineering marvel can change social fabric, but also of many tenets of #British #Colonialism in India which is often taken for granted, passed off lazily as exploitation, missing nuance (2)
As with any coastal town, the cultural and economic history of Kochi is intertwined with maritime trade routes since the time of the Early Romans and Arabs. Thanks to the #biennale , most of us would now be familiar with the term #Muzuris (3)
