An analysis of the daily district wise rainfall data from India Meteorological Department (IMD) for India’s South West Monsoon 2022 shows that there were 2079 instances when a district rainfall of a day was above 50 mm. Such high rainfall instances included 1712 instances when rainfall was 50-100 mm, 288 instances when it was 100-150 mm, 53 times it was 150-200 mm and 26 times above 200 mm. Out of 694 districts of India, 527 districts or, about 76% of the districts experienced such high rainfall days during SW monsoon 2021.
The month wise break of the high rainfall district days during the monsoon months of June 2021[i], July 2021[ii], Aug 2021[iii] and Sept 2021[iv] are in respective articles in detail. Here we will look at the month wise figures of such instances in each of the states for SW Monsoon 2021. We will do it by looking at five regions of India: North, East, North East, West and South India. Detailed articles on June[v], June-July[vi], June-Aug 2021[vii] and Monsoon 2021[viii] provide more information about district wise, state wise rainfall in respective months.

IndiaSpend wrote on Oct 11, 2021[ix]: “IMD data show that the number of heavy rain events in 2021 was the second lowest in the last five years, but further illustrate the unusual pattern of low August rainfall and very high September rainfall this year. Heavy rain events encompass very heavy (115.6 to 204.4 mm) and extremely heavy rainfall events (more than 204.4 mm of rain). August 2021 recorded the least extremely heavy rainfall events in the last five years and September 2021 the most. September 2021 also saw the second highest number of very heavy rainfall events since 2017.”

Bihar had 31% below normal rainfall in SW Monsoon 2022, this reflects in the reduction of High Rainfall event numbers. Like in 2021, maximum instances of a day rainfall exceeding 50 mm happened in June 2022 and least number of instances happened in July and Sept 2022. None of the districts had such instances in all the four SW Monsoon months. Kishanganj had the highest number of high rainfall days at 6 (it had 8 in 2021), followed by Araria and Paschim Champaran each with 5. Kishanganj also had the maximum (2) number of instances when rainfall was in excess of 100 mm in a day.
