Monsoon Rainfall

The monsoon this year has dumped a bounteous 1,160.8 mm of rainfall in Delhi till Thursday evening, the highest since 1964 and the third-highest since the data has been maintained by the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

Parts of the Indira Gandhi Airport (IGI) airport in New Delhi have been waterlogged following record rainin the national capital.The weather office hasissued an 'orange alert'for today as the monsoon rainfall in Delhi breached the 1,000 mm mark o

The national capital received moderate to heavy rainfall today morning, bringing the mercury down in the city.

The southwest monsoon in Delhi may have been erratic and one of the most delayed this season, but it has given the highest rainfall to the national capital in 11 years - 1,005.3 mm so far.

Rainfall in August, which recorded 24 per cent deficiency, was lowest in 19 years, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Friday.

Odisha recorded its highest rainfall deficiency this monsoon in over two decades, the weather department has said, amid fears that the dry spell could trigger a drought in the state.

The highest rainfall in Delhi in over a decade led to massive waterlogging and caused traffic disruptions in many parts of the national capital and its neighbouring cities, including Gurgaon and Noida, today.

The rainfall in August has been deficient by 26 per cent so far, with shortfalls in two successive months triggering fear of a below normal monsoon this year.

Rating agency ICRA said the overall rainfall which determines the sowing pattern has so far been normal in the current south-west monsoon season with a shortfall of only 2 per cent in line with the prediction of IMD.

The "break monsoon" phase in Delhi and adjoining areas in northwest India is likely to continue till August 18 and "good rainfall" in the last 10 days of the month is expected to cover the precipitation deficit in the capital.

The current spell of weak monsoon over the country is likely to continue for the next five days, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Wednesday.

The intensity of rainfall over sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim is likely to increase from August 11-12 as the monsoon trough has shifted close to the foothills, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Sunday.

The India Meteorological Department on Thursday issued orange alert forecasting "heavy" to "very heavy" rainfall in six districts of Madhya Pradesh, as it said four districts in Delhi have recorded "large excess" rainfall this monsoon season.

Four districts in Delhi have recorded "large excess" rainfall, while three districts have gauged "excess" precipitation so far this monsoon season, according to India Meteorological Department (IMD) data.

The already grim flood situation in south Bengal is likely to worsen with the weather department predicting heavy rainfall in the region owing to a cyclonic circulation over the north Bay of Bengal and the presence of an active monsoon trough.
