Option 3 : (i) and (ii) only

The correct answer is (i) and (ii) only.

  • Kerala has mainly two rainy seasons.
  • The Southwest Monsoon that arrives in the month of June is called Edavappathy.
  • The Northeast Monsoon also called Thulavarsham arrives in mid-October. In the Malayalam calendar, this month is called Thulam, and hence the name Thulavarsham means The Rains in Thulam.
  • Kerala receives an average annual rainfall of 3107 mm.

  • Around September the Indian Ocean and its surrounding atmosphere cause the cold wind to sweep down from the Himalayas and Indo-Gangetic Plain towards the Indian Ocean. This is known as the Northeast Monsoon or Retreating Monsoon.
    • It is also called the winter monsoon.
    • Rainfall is experienced in the southern part of India, mainly in Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu during this period.
  • The southwestern summer monsoons occur from July to September. 
    • The monsoon accounts for nearly 80% of the rainfall in India.
    • The trade winds enter the peninsular part of India as the southwest monsoon.​
