Which sub-division of Maharashtra receives the highest amount of rainfall during the South-west Monsoon Season ?
Answer: C
The Konkan subdivision receives the most south-west monsoon rainfall.
The moist south-west monsoon winds from the Arabian Sea strike the Western Ghats, rise and shed heavy orographic rain on the windward coastal strip, the Konkan (with Goa). Its seasonal rainfall is commonly 2,500 to 3,500 mm or more.
Madhya Maharashtra and Marathwada lie in the rain shadow east of the Ghats and receive far less, and Vidarbha, in the east, gets moderate rainfall mainly from monsoon depressions from the Bay of Bengal.
