None of its districts is currently in the deficit rainfall category, while four are in the excess range.After the arrival of monsoon this year, Delhi was in the deficit-rainfall zone in June before transitioning to normal in July. The intense rain activity seen for five consecutive days at the beginning of Aug helped it record surplus rainfall.IMD, which analyses data for 10 districts in Delhi, stated that the Central district recorded the highest rainfall at 528.6mm, which was 39% above its normal of 381.2mm for the period.It was followed by West Delhi<\/a>, which recorded 434.3mm against a normal of 342.7mm \u2014 an excess of 27%.

Of them, New Delhi witnessed the lowest rainfall with a surplus of just 7%. Data for North-Delhi was unavailable at the time of going to press.IMD classifies rainfall as deficit when it is less than -19%. If the rainfall is between -19% and 19%, it is classified as normal; between 20% and 59% is considered excess. It is categorised as large excess when the rainfall is 60% more than normal.In this monsoon so far, Delhi has seen three days of heavy rainfall \u2014 when it touches 65.5 mm or more in 24 hours \u2014 on July 9, July 29 and Aug 8.
