This time, these pockets remained almost dry while other parts of the country did see some rainfall activity. The week between May 3 and 9 saw excessive rains to the tune of 39 percent wherein the country saw 15.8 mm of rainfall against the average of 11.4 mm. During that time, the countrywide deficiency dropped to 13 percent.
Between May 10 and 16, rains were satisfactory for the entire country and only a mere 6 percent deficiency was witnessed wherein the country recorded 13.8 mm of rainfall against 14.6 mm of rains. Thus, the countrywide deficiency has now dropped to 11 percent.
Major contribution during the week came from Southern Peninsular India barring Andhra Pradesh. Other pockets received largely excess rains specially Karnataka. South Karnataka recorded excessive rains to the tune of 90 percent, North Interior Karnataka at 176 percent and Coastal Karnataka at 203 percent. Meanwhile, Andhra Pradesh observed deficient rainfall.
East India also fared well with Bihar seeing excess rains to the tune of 16 percent, and Gangetic West Bengal at 25 percent.
Northeast India which is the rainiest pocket has not had good rains all across. The regions of Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya and Assam remained deficit during the last week. However, rains were on the excessive side for Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura (NMMT) region.
Uttar Pradesh also had excess rains which was similar to what happened last week.
There is about just a little more than a week to go after which Pre-Monsoon season will come to an end as Monsoon will make an onset slightly early this time.
