Detailed Solution

Odisha and Andhra Pradesh receive rainfall in the winter season. Winter brings the most rain to Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. The Northeast monsoon is responsible for this phenomenon. There is typically a temperature differential between the land and the water in late October. A pressure gradient is also present when the solar heating varies with latitude. Due to the pressure gradient, the low-pressure region on land (Tamil Nadu and Andhra) begins to receive wet air from the sea surface. More moisture eventually makes the air unable to hold for very long, causing precipitation, which finally causes winter rainfall in Tamilnadu and Andhra Pradesh.
