Poll for Wettest place in this year SWM
 
After last year's epic rainfall race for being the wettest places during South West Monsoon. I have compiled a poll for viewers to vote for the SWM season 2012. The final poll results are given below.
The 2011 rankings can be found here - 2011 SWM rainfall rankings

Further the much expected SWM figures will be posted for the period ending June 15 by next week end. Watch out the figures in Tamil Nadu Weatherman Blog, Indian Weatherman Blog, Kea Weather Blog, Vagaries of the Weather Blog (Rajesh Sir) and Ring Road Weather Station Blog (Ashok Patel Sir).  I am monitoring the data of around 150 HRF stations so its exciting times ahead.
