Answer

During winter the dry offshore northeast monsoon winds blow from high pressure to low pressure. As they cross the Bay of Bengal, they gather enough moisture. As they strike the Coromandel coast in eastern India, they give heavy rainfall to Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu accompanied by stormy winds. Hence, the Eastern Coast receives rainfall in winter.
