Answer

The monsoon lands are greatly affected by the differential heating of land and water. During summer, the landmass of Asia is heated and low pressure is created. Winds from surrounding seas and oceans start blowing from sea to land carrying a lot of moisture, as they cross the water bodies. This is how South-West monsoon winds originate.
