Why do the coastal areas of Tamil Nadu get rainfall during the winter season?
Answers
Answer:
Though most of the country gets rainfall during summers, the coastal areas of Tamil Nadu receive rainfall during winters. This is because of the retreating monsoon, which extends from the middle of September to the middle of November. During this period, cyclones originate in the Bay of Bengal, which make the weather oppressive, causing high humidity. These cyclones hit the Tamil Nadu coast after picking moisture from the Indian Ocean and cause rainfall.

Answer:
In winters, it receives rainfall due to the northeast trade winds. They are offshore winds which blow from land to sea but due to India's topography, they change direction and flow over the Bay of Bengal and pick up moisture. Thus when they blow towards Tamil Nadu coast during winter, they bring rains.
