Why are South West (S.W.) monsoons less rainy in Chennai?
Share
(i) Chennai is located on the Coromandel coast. It lies in the rain shadow
region of the Arabian Sea branch of S.W. monsoons. It first strikes the
western coastal region and is almost exhausted by the time it reaches
Chennai.
(ii) The Bay of Bengal branch runs nearly parallel to the coromandal coast.
So, it also fails to give rains to Chennai.
(iii) Besides, offshore dry winds blow over this region in the summers.
