How can one part of India face devastating floods while another experiences a rainfall deficit — during the SAME monsoon? 🤯
The answer lies in where, when, and how much rain falls.
India’s monsoon rainfall is not evenly distributed. Short bursts of extreme rainfall can trigger flash floods and urban flooding, while other regions may receive insufficient rainfall over the season.
🌧️ Heavy rainfall → Flood risk
☀️ Rainfall shortfall → Deficit
🗺️ Distribution + timing + intensity → The real story
Understanding rainfall patterns is key to understanding India’s geography and climate.
