Madurai lies in the southern interior of Tamil Nadu, one of the drier parts of the state, and depends primarily on the October-to-December northeast monsoon for most of its modest annual rainfall rather than the summer southwest monsoon that dominates most of India. Because rainfall here is lower in volume and concentrated into a short season, tracking radar during the northeast monsoon months is particularly useful for anticipating the intense but often brief downpours that account for much of the city’s yearly total.
