Rainfall data of May2022 of some towns in the Darjeeling -Sikim Himalaya

As with April 2022, Darjeeling and Kalimpong districts were deficient in rainfall (see below)

Again Jalpaiguri and Cooch Behar districts had excess rain and so too East and North Sikkim districts (see below).This has been the trend for sometime and is continuing as I write today.

STH continued work in 'Hazard Alerts' our What's App group where we post satellite cloud imagery and information on environmental issues of the Himalayas.

And this included information and tracks of Cyclone 'ASANI' the first cyclone of 2022 in the Bay of Bengal.
