      Why are South-West monsoons less rainy in Tamil Nadu? Explain.

    Answer:

                      Tamil Nadu happens to be in the rain shadow area (Tamil Nadu is on the leeward side of the Western Ghats which obstructs the South-West monsoon.) The section of Western Ghats bordering Tamil Nadu and Kerala captures the South-West monsoon from the Arabian Sea branch. Therefore, South-West monsoon winds provide less rainfall in Tamil Nadu. This region receives rainfall from retreating monsoon.
