Best answer
  • South West Monsoon rainfall is an example to orographic rain.
  • Kerala is located in the western part of the West - em Ghat.
  • Kerala lies in the windward side of the mountain.
  • So Kerala receives good rainfall.
  • This is orographic rainfall
  • After shedding rains on the windward side, the dry wind then reaches on the leeward side, which fail to give rain in this area. It is a rain-shadow region.
  • Tamil Nadu lies in the rain shadow region. When Kerala receives rain, Tamil Nadu does not get rain.
