D

Solution
Retreating Monsoon Season
The retreating southwest monsoon season is marked by clear skies and rise in temperature.
The land is still moist. Owing to the conditions of high temperature and humidity, the weather becomes rather oppressive. This is commonly known as the ‘October heat’.
In the second half of October, the mercury begins to fall rapidly, particularly in northern India.
The weather in the retreating monsoon is dry in north India but it is associated with rain in the eastern part of the Peninsula. Here, October and November are the rainiest months of the year.
The widespread rain in this season is associated with the passage of cyclonic depressions which originate over the Andaman Sea and manage to cross the eastern coast of the southern Peninsula. These tropical cyclones are very destructive.
A bulk of the rainfall of the Coromandel Coast is derived from these depressions and cyclones.
Unlike the rest of the country, which receives rain in the southwest monsoon season between June and September, the northeast monsoon is crucial for farming and water security in the south.
