Solution 2

Winter monsoon bring less rainfall. because in winter a strong high pressure builds over the cold land and lower pressure lies over the warmer sea, the prevailing winds blow offshore (from land to sea). These winds carry dry continental air with very little moisture, so they do not produce much rainfall.
