South Peninsula India Monthly Rainfall % Departure from LPA
Source: statSCALAR
Key Takeaway
- The percentage departure from LPA for South Peninsula India measures rainfall deviations from the region’s long-term normal. This is particularly useful for assessing the performance of the southwest and northeast monsoons and their implications for regional water availability. Below-normal rainfall may increase irrigation pressure and affect crops such as rice, pulses, and plantation crops, while above-normal rainfall may improve water availability but can also cause flooding, waterlogging, or crop damage.
