assistant
The main difference between a monsoon and a hurricane is the wind speed. Monsoon winds are typically around 25 mph, while hurricane wind speeds can exceed 150 mph. Monsoons also tend to last for days or weeks, while hurricanes often come and go in a matter of hours. Additionally, the nature of rainfall associated with monsoons is typically more spread out and less intense than that associated with hurricanes.
