{'monsoon climate': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'indian ocean': [2, 2, 0, 2], 'el nino': [2, 0, 1, 4], 'western disturbances': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'equatorial': [2, 0, 2, 5], 'warm currents': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'bengal': [2, 0, 1, 2], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'temporary warm currents': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'cyclones': [1, 0, 1, 1]}

The monsoon climate in India is characterized by seasonal winds and heavy rainfall. Option 1, El Nino temporary warm currents, is associated with monsoon climate in India. El Nino is a climate pattern originating in the Pacific Ocean that affects weather conditions worldwide, including the Indian monsoon. It can cause disruptions in the normal monsoon rainfall patterns.

Option 2, South-equatorial warm currents of the Indian Ocean, is also associated with monsoon climate in India. These warm currents carry moisture to the Indian subcontinent, contributing to the heavy rainfall during the monsoon season.

Option 3, Western disturbances, is the correct answer. Western disturbances are a weather phenomenon that brings winter rainfall to parts of India, especially northern regions. They are not directly associated with the monsoon season. These disturbances are caused by the interaction of the westerly jet stream and the Himalayas.

Option 4, cyclones of the Bay of Bengal, is associated with monsoon climate in India. Cyclones originating in the Bay of Bengal can bring heavy rainfall to coastal areas of India during the monsoon season.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option 3, as western disturbances are not directly associated with the monsoon climate in India.
