Why are southwest monsoons less rainy in Chennai?

उत्तर
Chennai lies on the leeward side of the Western Ghats and far away from the western coast. The Arabian Sea branch causes greater rainfall on the western coastline, while the eastern branch passes over the Bay of Bengal and on to the north-eastern part of the country. As a result, Chennai gets low rainfall from the southwest monsoons.
