Why Chennai gets rain during winters?
- Chennai is located on the
eastern coast of India. South India usually receives rainfall from south west
monsoons. But these south west monsoon arising from Arabian Sea gets obstructed
by Western Ghats.
- Hence, Chennai receives
most of its rain from north-east and retreating monsoons during winter season.
Moreover, many low pressure systems develop in the Bay of Bengal during this
period and move towards the east coast of Tamil Nadu causing heavy rainfall.
