A common mistake

The wet season is the same as the monsoon.The monsoon is the wind system; the wet season is the rain it brings.

Strictly the monsoon is a seasonal reversal of wind, and the rain follows from it. In everyday Bangladeshi English the two are used interchangeably, but wet season and rainy season are the plainer terms.
