Tamil Nadu’s rainfall picture changes dramatically in 27 days; 18 deficit districts move into normal or excess categories
From October 1 to 27, Tamil Nadu received an average of 217.2 mm of rain, roughly 51 percent above the normal 144.2 mm for the same period. The surplus moved 18 districts that had previously recorded deficits into normal or excess categories, improving the state's rainfall outlook, according to the state meteorological department. This shift reflects a change in the region's water balance and may ease pressure on agriculture and reservoirs.
