The rainfall showed large variation across nine districts with south Delhi recording 92% while West Delhi recording only 29%. Only two districts recorded normal rainfall while five districts remained deficient. The other two districts received scanty rainfall in the range of -60% and -99%.
The daily variation between rainfall in such a small area is common but for such a huge difference to exist at the end of the season indicates that the monsoon had been weak over the region.
For such a massive difference to exist at the end of the season is not common and this shows that monsoon was not strong over northwest India, especially over Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi and Punjab. With a 45% deficiency over Punjab and a 38% deficiency over Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi, the west and northwest districts experienced a moderate drought.
