50 days in to Monsoon, Here is All India SWM Rainfall Toppers from 01.06.12 to 20.07.12

It is 50 days into the monsoon, Cherrapunji can be declared as a winner even before crossing half way into the monsoon. The lead is nearly 4000 mm between first and second spot. In 2011, we had 12 stations which crossed 2750 mm mark till July 20th. This year the list has gotten shrunken to just 1. There is no point in making ranking list for one station. So the cut-off has been reduced to 2000mm from 2750mm.
