All India SWM Toppers from 01.06.2012 to 30.06.2012

After 30 days into monsoon, Cherrapunji in Meghlaya has run away from the pack. (SWM 2011 comparative figures till June 30). There are only 35 stations which crossed 1000 mm mark for June 2012, compared to 53 stations in 2011.


Maharashtra has 8 stations in the list in June 2012 compared to 25 stations in June 2011. Meanwhile, West Bengal which had 0 stations in 2011 has 7 stations in the list in June 2012. The surprise package is however Goa, almost all stations managed to cross 1000 mm rainfall. Karnataka which had 18 stations in 2011 has only 9 stations in 2012.  Kerala has only one entrant in Vadakara, last year it had 7 stations. The dry phase of MJO is coming to an end so watch out for the toppers during next list. I would keep an eye on Chinna Kallar in Tamil Nadu. It had a quite June and yet managed to get 800 mm. July is its wettest month.

  1. Fantastic Pradeep. Really it is a breath taking effort. Chinna Kallar is the one of the gate ways of SWM for Kerala and some parts in west Tamilnadu too.
    You can compare (1) upper Nirar raingauge maintained by TNPWD (2) Chincona raingauge maintained by TNForest.
