Answer:
Kanyakumari is located at the top of the Indian sub-continent where the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea meet, moderating the climate making it equable or maritime.
Answer:
Kerela and Tamil Nadu are the parts of India which recieve winter rainfall because these are the coastal regions found in the South which is affected by Western disturbances.
