North East Monsoon:
Once the south west monsoon season nears it end, the land mass becomes cooler than the southern ocean part. Hence high pressure winds from northern range start flowing towards the Indian ocean, basically a reversal of South West Monsoon and hence the name. While coming down the eastern part of the winds flowing over Bay of Bengal picks moisture from the sea which is blocked by the Eastern Ghats giving rainfall to the east coast of the peninsula. Particularly Chennai and Tamil Nadu receives around 40-50% of their rainfall from this monsoon.
Monsoons account for nearly 90% of the rainfall in India and they heavily influence agriculture in the subcontinent.
