During this autumn season, the winds move back from the mainland to the Bay of Bengal. The southern parts of India, mainly Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh receive rainfall during this season.
Southwest monsoon:
Intense low-pressure formation over the Tibetan Plateau due to intense heating during the summer season cause this southwest monsoon. The permanent high-pressure cell in the South of the Indian Ocean (East to Northeast of Madagascar in summer). This monsoon season winds bring heavy rainfall to most parts of the country.
Factors influencing the south-west monsoons:
- Intense low-pressure formation over the Tibetan Plateau
- Permanent high-pressure cell in the South of the Indian Ocean

Northeast monsoon
North-East monsoon winds bring rainfall to the southeast coast of the country mainly Tamil Nadu coast and Seemandhra’s south coast.
Factors influencing the North-East Monsoons:
- Formation and strengthening of the high-pressure cells over the Tibetan and the Siberian Plateaus during winters

- The high-pressure cells occurring in the southern Indian Ocean migrating to the west and weakening
