Monsoon in Rangoon
Amelia Earhart flew into the worst weather of her trip on the flight to Rangoon. She had to avoid monsoons. What is a monsoon? Let’s find out.
A monsoon is a seasonal wind that changes direction with the seasons. It blows from the Southwest from April to October. Then it switches and blows from the Northeast from October to April. How wild is that? Heavy rains come with the summer monsoons. Earhart had to fly very high to avoid the monsoon.
