If we look at the statistics of the last five years in the district, the average rainfall is around 25 percent in the month of July every year.
The year 2018 recorded a four-year high of 38.51 per cent rainfall till July 29, but only 69 per cent of the season’s total was recorded following the departure of the monsoon in the first half of October. Then for three years i.e. till 2021, around 25 percent rainfall was recorded in July and the monsoon extended till the second half of November.

While in 2017, despite 100 percent of the season’s average rainfall on July 29, only 29 percent of the rain fell in the remaining three months.
In contrast, in 2016, 18, 19, 20 and 21, despite receiving 25 to 28 percent rainfall in July, the remaining two and a half months of the monsoon season received 29 percent to 85 percent rainfall, implying that there is no pattern that higher rainfall in July increases seasonal rainfall.
