Sure Pradeep. As per the figures you put up, Kollur is racing ahead, way and out ahead of C'Punji.
Gaganbavda may too beat C'Punji,this season ??
C'Punji seems to be lagging , but can u see any reason for this ??
No idea why Cherrapunji or Agumbe is getting less rainfall.
While Places like Kollur, Gaganbawada, Sangameshwar and Kadra which all have average rainfall of 5000 cm are getting extraordinary rainfall.
Cherrapunji Annual rainfall of 481 cm so far is not that bad.
While Matheran, Buxaduar, Passighat, Mahabaleshwar and Bhira all have got less than average rainfall
I dont have theory why one heavy rainfall town is getting less rainfall compared to other heavy rainfall town.
Dear Pradeep & Rajesh,
You may aware that climatologically SWM will be active along 15 Degree latitude. Further it may be noted that Arabian Sea branch is always dominant during SWM period. Similarly the Bay branch of SWM is relatively weak during this SWM 2011. Perhaps this may be the reason why the traditional rainfall strongholds are not achieving goals this year. Moreover JULY is the representative month for SWM rainfall and still there is time for traditional RF stations to show their strength.
