the answer is MONSOON
In the equatorial zone, the direction of the southerly winds is from tropic of cancer to the equator since the equator being hotter is at lower pressure.
During summer the Indian landmass becomes very hot and a low pressure zone is created over it. this low pressure zone attracts the wind moving towards equator, and the wind changes direction on crossing the equator and become northerly winds and rush towards the Indian subcontinent. On their way they pick up moisture from the sea and precipitate it as rain over Indian landmass.

a cyclone cannot cross the equator. el nino affects ocean temprature. drought happens at all lattitudes. the monsoons are a localized (but large) example of wind changing direction due to the difference in temprature between a land mass and the ocean, but they are not necessarily associated with the equator.
