★(1) The Malabar Coast receives heavy rainfall from the Arabian Sea branch of the South west monsoon while Tamil Nadu receives scanty rainfall as it is located parallel to the Bay of Bengal branch and lies in the rain shadow area of the Arabian Sea branch.

(2)➤ The wind from Bay of Bengal branch moves towards northeast India and Myanmar.

➤ This wind is trapped by a chain of mountains namely Garo, Khasi and Jaintia which are mainly responsible for the heaviest rainfall caused at Mawsynram located in Meghalaya.

➤ Later, it travels towards west which results in decrease in rainfall from east to west.

➤ Over all about 75% of Indian rainfall is received from this monsoon.
