The rainfall is heavier on the western side of the Western Ghats as it is on the wind ward side and decreases over the plateau area which is on the lee side for both the monsoons, Gujarat and Aravallis are low and the Aravallis are parallel to the south-west monsoon. So less rainfall. The N.E., part of India receives heavy rainfall from the south-monsoon and the winds then turn up the Gangetic plains bringing less rain. The north-east monsoons bring rain to the east coast, while the temperate cyclones bring rain and snow to the N.W. part of India.
