Abstract

 

 

 In this note, the day-today rainfall during the monsoon season in four small areas of 50 miles radius round about Calcutta, Delhi, Tiruchirapalh and Bangalore has been studied with a view to finding out what percentage of the monsoon rainfall occurs on what percentage of the days with precipitation in each of these areas. It is observed that although these areas fall within different rainfall regimes, the percentages of days with rain that account for a particular fraction of the total rainfall in these areas are nearly equal. A study has also been made of the rainfall over these areas during the monsoon season, associated with synoptic disturbances. It is found that the percentages of the disturbances which cause the same fraction of the total rainfall derived from such disturbances do not also differ appreciably from one area to another.
