Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, from October to December the coast of Tamil Nadu state receives at least half of its roughly 40 inches (1, 000 mm) of annual precipitation. That rainy extension of the generally dry retreating monsoon is called the northeast, or winter monsoon.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Tamil Nadu coast gets maximum rainfall in October and November.
Detailed explanation-3: -The south-west monsoon begins to withdraw from India by the first week of October. It leaves Jammu-Kashmir, the Northern Plains, then peninsular India, moving southwards and westwards. When it reaches the Chennai coast on its way backwards, it is checked by the Eastern Ghats and imparts rain to the Chennai coast.
