The rainy season (sometimes called the wet season or monsoon season) is the time of year when most of a region's average annual rainfall occurs. ¹ Generally, the season lasts at least a month. ² The term green season is also sometimes used as a euphemism by tourist authorities. ¹
Different parts of the world have different types of rainy seasons, depending on the climate and geography of the region. For example, some countries have a monsoon rainy season, where the wind direction changes and brings heavy and persistent rainfall. ² Some countries have a savannah rainy season, where there are short wet seasons with thunderstorms in the afternoon, followed by long dry seasons. ² Some countries have a tropical rainy season, where there is rainfall almost every day in the afternoon or evening, with hot and humid conditions throughout the year. ²
The rainy season can have various effects on the environment and human activities. It can improve air quality, fresh water quality, and vegetation growth, but it can also cause soil erosion, flooding, landslides, and diseases. ¹ Some animals have adaptations and survival strategies for the wet season, such as migrating to higher ground or storing food during the dry season. ¹
The timing and duration of the rainy season vary depending on the location and climate of the region. Here are some examples of countries and regions with their rainy seasons: ²

I enjoy the rainy season. It brings relief from the heat and humidity, and makes everything look fresh and green. The rainy season in Bangladesh usually lasts from *June to September, and is caused by the *monsoon winds that brings moisture from the Bay of Bengal. Some of the activities that people enjoy during the rainy season are reading books, drinking tea, eating pithas, playing carrom, listening to music, and watching the rain.
