Both the statements are correct

The southwest summer monsoon, a four-month period when massive convective thunderstorms dominate India's weather, is Earth's most productive wet season.

A product of southeast trade winds originating from a high-pressure mass centred over the southern Indian Ocean, the monsoonal torrents supply over 80% of India's annual rainfall. The southwest monsoon arrives in two branches: the Bay of Bengal branch and the Arabian Sea branch.
