<P> The Arabian Sea Branch of the Southwest Monsoon first hits the Western Ghats of the coastal state of Kerala , India , thus making this area the first state in India to receive rain from the Southwest Monsoon . This branch of the monsoon moves northwards along the Western Ghats ( Konkan and Goa ) with precipitation on coastal areas , west of the Western Ghats . The eastern areas of the Western Ghats do not receive much rain from this monsoon as the wind does not cross the Western Ghats . </P>
