The southwestern monsoon of India normally occurs between June and September and is known for to be a rainy season in the summer.
This year's monsoon has been rated as medium but statistics from the Meteorological Department of India show that daily average rainfall for the country has recently been above normal. At least 15 people were killed by floods and landslides in India on Wednesday, July 11, 2018. So far this year, nearly 200 deaths have resulted from heavy monsoon rains in India .
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center at Greenbelt. , Rainfall accumulation estimates were constructed using NASA's multi-satellite integrated recovery data for GPM (IMERG). GPM is the satellite of the Global Precipitation Measurement mission that estimates precipitation worldwide.
Algorithms developed by the NASA Precipitation Measurement Missions (PMM) science team at Goddard to merge satellite data from the GPM constellation. The IMERG badysis showed rainfall accumulation during the week of July 9 to 13, 2018. During this period, most of the heavy monsoon rains in India remained almost stationary or increased in size as the abundant rainfall in Bangladesh decreased
. showed heavy monsoon rains along the coast of the Arabian Sea and large areas of north-central India. During this period, at least 525 mm (20.7 inches) of rain was reported in Mumbai, India
GPM is a joint mission between NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency JAXA. For more information on GPM, visit: http://www.nasa.gov/gpm
