Abstract

In this note the maximization of rain storms for moisture charge has been attempted for the southern half of the Indian Peninsula from Lat, 8°N to near about Lat. 12"N .It has been seen that during the period 1951 to 1960 some 56 major rain storms affected this region. All these storms were maximized for moisture charge on the basis of 24-hr persisting highest dew point of record and the storm dew point data of the 16 selected meteorological observatories in this region. This study has revealed that the average maximization factors range from 2 to 26 per cent and there are generally low during the months of October to December when the rain storm activity over the region is maximum.
