Flying Weather in Monsoons. During the winter monsoon, excellent flying weather prevails over dry interior regions. Over water, pilots must pick their way around showers and thunderstorms. In the summer monsoon, VFR flight over land is often restricted by low ceilings and heavy rain. IFR flight must cope with the hazards of thunderstorms.
