Tamil Nadu Rainfall Deficit Narrows Significantly in October
What happened
B. Chandra Mohan reported that 18 of the 23 districts that were rainfall-deficient at the close of the Southwest monsoon moved out of the deficit category in the 27 days since October began. The state's cumulative rainfall shortfall narrowed from 16% at the end of the Southwest monsoon on September 30 to less than 1% by October 27. During the period of October 1 to 27, Tamil Nadu recorded a 51% surplus against the period's normal rainfall.
