2024 South West Monsoon 

The South West Monsoon season 2024 ends officially today (30-Sep-2024) on a calendar period basis. The observed cumulative All India mean rainfall for SWM 2024 ended with 934.8 mm and a cumulative rainfall departure of + 7.6 %. This puts the Monsoon 2024 in the "Above Normal Monsoon year" category. A look at the spatial distribution of cumulative rainfall anomalies across the country shows that the Monsoon rains were normal/above normal across many parts of the country with below normal rains over parts Indo Gangetic plains, parts of east India and parts of North East India. The east-west asymmetry in rainfall anomalies along the core Monsoon zone continues this years as well. Congratulations @Indiametdept for the accurate seasonal rainfall prediction.
