Explanation:

The southeast trade winds in the southern hemisphere and the northeast trade winds in the northern hemisphere meet each other near the equator. The meeting place of these winds is known as the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). In the month of July, the ITCZ shifts to 20°- 25° N latitude and is located in the Indo-Gangetic Plain and the South-West monsoons blow from the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. NITCZ is the zone of clouds and heavy rainfall.
