Rainfall data of Sep 2024 of some towns in Sub-Himalayan W Bengal and Sikkim

Teesta river and bazar on 29Sep2024, a few days after heavy rain on 27/28Sep. The river had receded quite a bit yet it flowed nudging the bazar and the Darjeeling road at many places. The river is still swift and flows from one bank to the other.

Notice the way the heavy rain is all stacked up in the last week of the month with the first few weeks being deficient in rain.

A dramatic shift from deficient rain upto 25Sept followed by a large surplus thereafter.

The impact of the heavy rains in the month end has already been covered in a separate post here
