The summer monsoon in eastern and southern Asia brings wet weather and winds blowing from sea to land. This is because during the summer, the land heats up and creates low pressure systems, whereas the ocean remains cooler, creating high pressure systems. The warm, moist air over the ocean moves towards the land where it rises and cools, leading to precipitation.
