What Causes Heavy Rainfall in Kerala and Tamil Nadu?

Heavy rainfall in these regions is primarily driven by the southwest monsoon, which typically lasts from June to September. Additionally, cyclonic circulations, such as those forming over the Gulf of Thailand and moving into the Bay of Bengal, can intensify rainfall. These systems often lead to the formation of low-pressure areas, further contributing to intense showers.
