East & Northeast India Monthly Rainfall % Departure from LPA
Monthly data

Key Takeaway
- The percentage departure from LPA for East and Northeast India measures whether regional rainfall is above or below its historical average. Positive departures can support water availability but may also increase flood, erosion, and waterlogging risks, while negative departures may create moisture stress and affect crop establishment. This indicator helps assess weather-related agricultural risks, particularly for rice, tea, jute, and other crops, and provides context for evaluating potential changes in regional production and market supply.
About This Dataset
This series tracks how monthly rainfall in East and Northeast India compares with its long-term average. Even in this high-rainfall region, deficits during key sowing months can affect transplanting of rice and jute, while large surpluses can signal flood risk. Analysts use the departures to separate genuinely unusual months from the region's normally heavy rainfall.
