Question
Why does Tamil Nadu receive rainfall in winter?
✓

Answer

Tamil Nadu receives less rainfall in summer from the south$-$west monsoon as it lies in the leeward side of the Western Ghats. During winters, the north$-$east winds are dry but as they blow over the Bay of Bengal they pick moisture and bring rainfall in Tamil Nadu as north$-$east monsoons.
