This gradually starts clearing from most places in northwest India by October.The northeast monsoon affects India's east coast during November and December. It's a short but intense monsoon. The states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Kerala receive most of their rainfall from the northeast monsoon, while the rest of the country receives most of its rainfall from the southwest monsoon.The monsoon season is characterized by intermittent thunderstorms and rain over a number of days, eventually culminating in a huge and lengthy downpour. The rain brings some respite from the searing heat. Conditions become very humid and muddy while still remaining quite hot.
