    Question

    Which one of the following states receives floods in the winter months?

    A.

    Gujarat

    B.

    Tamil Nadu

    C.

    Madhya Pradesh

    D.

    Maharashtra

    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is (b) Tamil Nadu
    Explanation:
    Tamil Nadu receives significant rainfall during the winter months (October–December) due to the Northeast Monsoon.
    This monsoon brings heavy rainfall, often causing floods in Chennai, Cuddalore, Nagapattinam, and other coastal districts.
    The other states (Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra) mainly receive rainfall during the Southwest Monsoon (June–September), not in winter.
    Additional Information:
    Tamil Nadu gets over 50% of its annual rainfall from the Northeast Monsoon.
    Major winter cyclones over the Bay of Bengal also contribute to flooding.
    This is why Tamil Nadu is prone to winter floods, unlike most other Indian states.
