The rich green cover of the monsoon season persists during the mild winter that follows through an unpleasant October transition, but turns into a dusty, barren brown as the summer sets in again. The seasonal rains from the western sea-clouds are very heavy and the rainfall is over 400 cm., on the Sahyadrian crests.
In this context, the description highlights the dramatic changes in the landscape that occur throughout the year, particularly the transition from green to brown as the seasons shift. The mention of heavy rainfall and specific geographical features like the Sahyadrian ridges adds depth to the narrative.
