उत्तर
Retreating monsoon
Explanation:
The Coromandel Coast receives winter rain due to the Northeast Monsoon winds, also called the retreating monsoon. During winter, these winds blow from land to sea and pick up moisture over the Bay of Bengal. When they reach the Coromandel Coast, they release this moisture as rainfall. This rainfall happens in the winter months, unlike the summer rains brought by the southwest monsoon. Thus, the winter rain along the Coromandel Coast is caused by the retreating monsoon winds.
