Geography · Climate of India
Consider the following statements regarding the Southwest Monsoon and rainfall distribution in India: 1. The orographic effect of the Western Ghats causes differential rainfall, with the windward side receiving heavy precipitation while the leeward side remains comparatively dry. 2. The Arabian Sea branch of the monsoon weakens as it moves inland, resulting in decreasing rainfall from the coastal areas towards the interior regions of Peninsular India. 3. Tamil Nadu receives very little rainfall from the Southwest Monsoon due to its location on the eastern side of the Western Ghats, making it a rain shadow region during this season. Which of the statements given above are correct?
