In winter there is a high pressure on the Indian mainland while the pressure over the Indian ocean remains low then. So, winds start blowing from Indian mainland towards the sea in winter. These winds are called retreating monsoons which blow in the months of October and November from the land towards the sea from northeast direction. When these dry winds cross over the Bay of Bengal, they pick up moisture and when they strike against the Eastern Ghats they cause heavy rain on the east coast of India. Hence, southern part of east coast of India or the Tamil Nadu coast receives more rain during the winter months from October to November.

Why is Australia prone to floods?
Many parts of Australia's eastern half and the north are flood-prone due to the numerous river systems and low plains throughout the region. The northern and eastern coasts are also prone to summer cyclones (which bring heavy rains) and seasonal monsoonal rains. These rains can send large amounts of water across the northern plains, through Queensland's "channel country", which floods huge areas of land in north western Queensland. Another particularly flood-prone region is the Hunter Valley in New South wales.

Why chennai has more rains only after the fury of monsoons is over in most parts of the country?
There are several factors involved in Chennai weather patterns, all because of it geographical location. Chennai is located in the thermal equator area.(which means it is much hotter at certain times of the year than other because the sun shines more directly on it at these times. The N.E. monsoons bring the most rains in mid September-December. Thermal currents are constantly lifting moist air from the ocean and Bay of Bengal. This NE flow of air cools these currents and cause significant rain not evident in other parts of India. Add to this that cyclonic disturbances in the Bay of Bengal can acerbate the weather situation.-Vernit
