    Probably places like Ratnagiri, Mumbai, Goa already crossed 1600mm barrier with rainfall period between 01-jun-2010 to till date. In these places normally it never rains from 01-jan-2010 to 31-may-2010. In south it may be possible due to residual northeast monsoons.Looking at another low pressure over bay Mumbai may cross 2000mm in month of july itself as there are 10 days left!
