Question

Why western coastal plains get heavier rainfall and why. (connect with direction of winds )​

Answer 1

Answer:

It has been believed for a long time that offshore troughs and vortices are responsible for these intense rainfall events. ... We find that most of the offshore convective systems responsible for intense rainfall along the west coast of India are linked to the atmospheric conditions over equatorial Indian Ocean.

Answer 2

Answer:

Western coastal plains receive more rainfall than the Eastern Coastal plains because winds come from South West direction and are obstructed by Western Ghats. f. “Western Rajasthan or Thar Desert receives less rainfall.” Or Arabian Sea branch of S-W monsoon does not shed any moisture in western Rajasthan.
