Detailed explanation-1: -The south-west monsoon causes heavy rainfall in the Shillong plateau. The north east monsoon cases rainfall over the Odisha coast during winter as it gathers moisture from the Bay of Bengal.
Detailed explanation-2: -Because the southwest monsoon flows from sea to land, it carries more moisture, and therefore causes more rain, than the northeast monsoon. Only part of the northeast monsoon passing over the Bay of Bengal picks up moisture, causing rain in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu during the winter months.
Detailed explanation-3: -It receives rain from southwest monsoon winds (Bay of Bengal branch), as the winds cannot move further striking the hills and due to condensation receives heavy rainfall.
Detailed explanation-4: -The north-east monsoon causes rainfall over the Odisha coast during winter.
