Monsoon2024 

The season's first Deep Depression and the first one this season to have a genesis over land and intensification with a  long track across the width of India represents a typical text book kind of synoptic system of the Indian Monsoon circulation. One can notice that the major rains were all along the south of the system's track. This system was responsible for the highest all India daily mean rainfall and larger rainfall anomalies of the core monsoon zone so far this season. Literatures and past observations say that Monsoon depressions add a major rainfall percentage when they occur and this system is no different. The latest All India cumulative rainfall departure stands at ~ +7 %.
