The maximum amount of rainfall in India is received from the South-west Monsoon. This monsoon season, from June to September, accounts for the vast majority of precipitation across the country.

The South-west Monsoon is the primary source of rainfall in India, covering most parts of the country and contributing to about 75% of the total annual rainfall.

– The Western Disturbances cause winter rainfall in Northern India.
– The North-east Monsoon brings rainfall mainly to the coastal regions of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh during the post-monsoon season (October-December).
– The Retreating Monsoon is a transitional phase that also contributes some rainfall to southern states. However, their contribution is significantly less compared to the South-west Monsoon.
