According to IMD, northwest India recorded 747.9mm of rainfall this season — the highest since 2001 and sixth highest since 1901, while east and northeast India recorded second lowest rain since 1901.

Most parts of the country are expected to receive normal to above normal rainfall during the post monsoon season — October to December, except many parts of northwest India and some parts of extreme south peninsular India and northeast India, where rainfall is likely to be below normal, the IMD forecast.

Seasonal rainfall during October to December (OND) over south peninsular India—consisting of five meteorological subdivisions (Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Karaikal, Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Yanam, Rayalaseema, Kerala, Mahe, and South Interior Karna-taka) — is most likely to be above normal (>112% of LPA).
