Your Answer Is Wrong
Explanation :
A cyclone is an area of low pressure around which the winds flows counter clockwise in the northern hemisphere. Since a cyclone is also known as a low pressure center, moving in any horizontal direction away from the “Low” will result in increasing pressure. Air converges into a low pressure center which causes air to rise. The cyclone is expected to interfere with normal progression, by sucking all the moisture from the monsoon winds towards itself.
