Due to the location on/very near to the equator, these countries and the fact that many of them are largely surrounded or bordered by water makes them very prone to rainfall. This is because the heat causes water to evaporate. The warm weather has water fall down in its liquid form, and precipitation falls.

Primarily, it is the summertime that is the wet season, because the warm temperature above the land draws the winds and water towards it. The reason it draws wind and water towards it is because the heating of land causes an expansion of air above it, creating a lower pressure above land, than the cooler and higher temperature and pressure above water.
Wind moves to the lower pressure area, and brings the precipitation with it.

Now that you know where Southeast Asia is, let's talk about what a Monsoon is.
By definition, a Monsoon is "a large seasonal shift in the wind direction and amount of rainfall over an extended area"¹.
Monsoons can cause flooding of areas and a lot of precipitation.

This excessive rainfall can create a beautiful environment, and supply many plants with hydration.

Although he looks like he's having fun, Monsoons can be deadly
