Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Retreating Monsoons
By the end of October south-west monsoon winds retreat from most of northern India. The low-pressure area lying over Northwest India is transferred to the middle of
the Bay of Bengal by the end of October. As a result of these unstable conditions,
severe cyclonic storms originate in the Bay of Bengal. These cyclonic storms strike
along the eastern coast of India causing widespread rain in the coastal regions. Northeast Monsoon season is the major period of rainfall activity over the south peninsula, particularly in the eastern half comprising of meteorological subdivisions of Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema, and Tamil Nadu-Pondicherry. Tamil Nadu coast
receives the maximum of its rainfall during October and November - the period of
retreating monsoons.
