Why is the Somali jet considered important for the Indian monsoon?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It helps strengthen moisture laden winds from the Arabian Sea

The direct answer is A: the Somali jet helps strengthen moisture-laden winds from the Arabian Sea. It is a strong low-level wind current near the Somali coast during the southwest monsoon. Its flow supports the Arabian Sea branch and helps transport moist air toward India, though monsoon rainfall also depends on pressure, relief, sea temperature, and other factors. A is correct. B is wrong because the jet is not defined by stopping Himalayan snowfall. C is wrong because it does not close the Bay of Bengal. D is wrong because the Arabian Sea branch affects the west and other areas, so the monsoon is not limited only to the east coast. Memory cue: Somali jet—strong low-level flow—Arabian Sea moisture.
