Detailed Solution

The North-East monsoon brings maximum rainfall to Chennai (capital of Tamilnadu). In addition, there will be little precipitation in the states of Kerala and Andhra Pradesh. India experiences a lot of evaporation and clouds during the southwest monsoon in June, but these clouds are empty when they go to the Himalayas and the northeast. Rain is brought to India's eastern coast by the retreating winds in the States of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, but as they ascend above the Bay of Bengal, some moisture is lost. 48% of the state's annual rainfall occurs during the winter or northeast monsoon. India receives about 75% of its precipitation from the southwest monsoon.
