Monsoon covers entire India.. Compiled by Vag Gokul

Large parts of country witnessed vigorous monsoon conditions in the past one week; Latest forecasts indicatue gradual setting in of a dry spell in the next 24-48 hrs., especially in the western and central parts of the country:

Meerut and Surat received heavy rains lately

After nearly a month long dry spell in June (when all India cumulative rainfall departure was about -40%), recently most parts of India witnessed active to vigorous monsoon conditions during the first week of July. 
This rainy spell brought in much needed rainfall over many parts of central, west and eastern Indian states(especially in the core monsoon zone). 

The intense rainfall spell resulted in a huge recovery of the country's overall monsoon rainfall has brought up the percentage departure from -40% to -14% as on date. 

Many places in north Konkan(Western Maharashtra) saw some of the most unprecedented rainfall events with Lonavala(a tourist town on the Western Ghats) receiving almost 1290 mm in 48 hours. 

 On the whole, this episode has improved dam water levels across western Maharashtra and to some extent has also probably recharged ground water levels. With the current rainy spell nearing its end, latest NWP model forecasts indicate a gradual setting in of a dry spell in the next 2-3 days. The actual duration and intensity of the upcoming dry spell needs continuous monitoring over the next few forecasts

Mumbai Completes Its Average July Rainfall in Just 7 Days

Heavy rains make up for June's rainfall deficit

Mumbai: After an unusually dry June that had raised concerns among Mumbaikars, the city has witnessed exceptionally heavy rainfall during the first seven days of July. According to Rajesh Kapadia of Vagaries of the Weather, the rainfall received during these seven days has already exceeded the city's average rainfall for the entire month of July.

Both Santacruz and Colaba have crossed their respective monthly July rainfall averages within just one week.

Santacruz normally records an average of 919 mm of rainfall during the entire month of July. However, this year, it has already received 988.4 mm in the first seven days alone—69.4 mm above the monthly average.

Similarly, Colaba, whose average July rainfall is 768 mm, has recorded 880.4 mm during the same period—112.4 mm above its monthly average.

The heaviest rainfall occurred on 5 July, when both observatories recorded more than 200 mm of rain. These torrential spells have effectively erased the rainfall deficit created during the dry month of June, bringing much-needed relief to Mumbai.
