Detailed Solution

The main cause of Tamil Nadu's winter rainfall is the north-east trade winds. Due to the state's location on India's eastern coast, the Western Ghats block the Southwest monsoons, which provide rain to the country's southern region. As a result, the state experiences rain from the northeast and retreating monsoons.
