Monsoon rains come with a steady drizzle for the most part interspersed with strong short bursts which badly reduce visibility. Aircraft approaching minimums is forced to go round. It's deceptive because another aircraft may have landed just before or may be able to land after that. How long to hold will depend on fuel situation. But at critical airports the company OM should forbid tailwind landings in wet conditions.
