All India SWM Toppers from 01.06.2012 to 24.06.2012

The dry phase of MJO is spoiling the HRF figures. It is surprise that after 24 days into June, only one station from Peninsular India managed to cross 1000 mm. Just compare with 2011 figures for similar period. (SWM 2011 comparative figures). Meanwhile, the North Eastern HRF stations continue to impress. They failed miserably in 2011, but 2012 till June is definitely theirs. The MJO wet phase begins at end of first week of July, hopefully the peninsular HRF stations rock to their potential.

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.
