Explanation

The Southwest Monsoon (June-September) brings about 75% of India's annual rainfall and is crucial for agriculture. These winds originate from the Indian Ocean, picking up moisture before hitting the Western Ghats. The Northeast Monsoon brings winter rainfall primarily to Tamil Nadu, while 'South East' and 'South North' are not standard meteorological terms for monsoon systems.
