The South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ), a reverse - oriented monsoon trough, is a band of low - level convergence, cloudiness and precipitation extending from the Western Pacific Warm Pool at the maritime continent south - eastwards towards French Polynesia and as far as the Cook Islands (160W, 20S).

By the end of August, the monsoon trough was generally near the Himalayan foothills. (sciencedaily.com)
I am in India and we follow the monsoon trough during the Boreal summer. (climate-dynamics.org)
