Answer
(i) Kanyakumari experiences equable climate because it is located near the coast, and there is not much difference between the temperatures during the summer and winter.
(ii) The Coromandel Coast remains dry in July and August because it lies in the rain-shadow region of the Arabian Sea branch of the Southwest monsoon. Also, the Bay of Bengal branch of the monsoon flows almost parallel to the coast, so it does not bring much rain to this region during this time.
(iii) Mangalore lies on the windward side of Western Ghats and Mysore lies on the leeward side of the Western Ghats. Since areas located on the windward side receive more rainfall than the areas located on the leeward side, Mangalore experiences more rainfall than Mysore.
