Detailed explanation-1: -Seasonal reversal of wind direction over the Indian subcontinent takes place due to pressure differential. El Nino has major role to play in the seasonal reversal of wind direction over the Indian subcontinent.
Detailed explanation-2: -(i) Seasonal reversal of wind direction takes place over the Indian subcontinent? (ii) The bulk of rainfall in India is concentrated over a few months. (iii) The Tamil Nadu coast receives winter rainfall. (iv) The delta region of the eastern coast is frequently struck by cyclones.
Detailed explanation-3: -During the winter season, the air above the land cools faster than the air over the water, establishing a pressure gradient force from land to sea. The winds are therefore reversed from the summer monsoon flow-from land to sea instead of from sea to land.
