Rainfall Toppers in SWM 2012 (01.06.2012 to 31.07.2012)

 
After 61 days into monsoon, Cherrapunji lead with the second placed southern king Agumbe is nearly 4000 mm. (SWM 2011 comparative figures till July 31). There are only 20 stations which crossed 2500 mm mark till July 2012, compared to 99 stations in 2011. Which is 5 times lesser places than last year and shows the failure of the monsoon.

Maharashtra tops with 9 stations, followed by West Bengal 5 and Karnataka 3 station. There is no entrant from Goa, Kerala and Tamil Nadu this year.
