Explanation:

“Following withdrawal of southwest monsoon, the wind direction has changed, favouring setting in of northeast monsoon. The winds are stronger and because of this, systems will be formed one after another in the Bay of Bengal.” Tamil Nadu gets 48% of its annual rainfall during the northeast monsoon which normally lasts from around October 15 to December-end.
