Asiatic Low

The Asiatic Low is a low-pressure trough which lies over southern Asia, during early summer.

It is a major action centre for the Northern Hemisphere during that time of the year.

[1] It is created by more intense July sun, causing desert land areas of Northern Africa and Asia to warm rapidly.

[4] The Asian Low is part of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).

This gradually generates the summer monsoon over the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia.
