The wettest January till now has been in 1921 with 141.two mm. The area has obtained as significantly as two-thirds of the average rains for the to start with 6 months of the yr now.

The total rain surplus for the country as a complete, in the course of the to start with two months of January (January 1 to 13), is at ninety five for every cent with North-West India and the South Peninsula remaining runaway beneficiaries. Central India, way too, has done fairly well whilst East and North-East has drawn virtually nil rain in the course of the time period.

An prolonged forecast by the IMD for the up coming two months implies that the area would remain mostly dry in the course of the week from January 22-28 but ordinary to over ordinary rain would return in the course of the subsequent two months (January 29 to February four and February five-11).
