Detailed explanation-1: -The regions that receive rainfall in winter in India are Tamil Nadu and Kerala. This is due to a phenomenon called North east monsoon. Northeast monsoon occurs during October-December and affects only the southern part of India.
Detailed explanation-2: -During the winter season, north-east trade winds prevail over India. They blow from land to sea and hence, for most part of the country, it is a dry season. These cause winter rains over the plains and snowfall in the mountains.
