Tamil Nadu coast gets a large portion of its rain during ______ and ______.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. October and November.

  • Tamil Nadu's coastal areas receive a substantial amount of rainfall in October and November, primarily during the Northeast Monsoon.
  • This seasonal occurrence, crucial for the state's water supply, agricultural support, and overall climate, is driven by the retreating monsoon winds from the Bay of Bengal.
  • The capital city, Chennai, along with other eastern coastal regions, benefits significantly from this precipitation, playing a vital role in replenishing water reservoirs and sustaining the region's water resources.
