What is northeast monsoon that is causing heavy rains in Tamil Nadu?

India Today  

Chennai and its suburbs received record rainfall on Tuesday and the predictions are no different for Wednesday as the Northeast monsoon deposits heavy showers in the region. The weather phenomenon kicked off on October 29 with widespread rainfall in Tamil Nadu ranging between 1-9 centimeters, which includes Cauvery delta areas and coastal regions of Kanyakumari. The Northeast Monsoon rains commenced over coastal Tamil Nadu, Puducherry & Karaikal, and adjoining areas of south Coastal Andhra Pradesh, while the southwest Monsoon started withdrawing from the country in September. As the southwest monsoon retreats, the coastal region of India receives rain due to the northeast monsoon between October and November.
