Chennai 
Recieves rain from South-west monsoon wind ( June- September) and North-East monsoon wind ( November- December)

On the other hand it receives less rainfall than Mangalore because
1) Mangalore is located on the windward side of the south-west monsoon winds.. By the time, the South-west Monsoon falls on the leeward side, very little moisture is left in the winds and Chennai is not much benefitted.

Windward side means on the side of the winds and leewardside means the other side . For example the South-East monsoons cause heavy rain on the western coast leaving the leeward eastern cost comparatively dry.
