Which winds account for rainfall along the Malabar coast?

Rainfall along the Malabar Coast is primarily caused by the southwest monsoon winds. These winds, originating from the Indian Ocean, carry moisture and travel across the warm Arabian Sea. Upon encountering the Western Ghats along the Malabar Coast during the summer months (June to September), the winds ascend, cool, and release moisture, causing substantial rainfall. This phenomenon results in the significant monsoon rains that nourish the coastal regions of Kerala and Karnataka during the southwest monsoon season.
