As it rains in the capital, I got reminded of the meteorology classes during my master's. In one of the many meteorology classes back in TERI, none of us could answer what is the average annual rainfall India & the world receives.
It was raining horribly one fine morning in September 2016 & we were just learning to look at rainfall data in that particular meteorology class. The nearest rainfall station from Vasant Kunj is at Safdarjung.
Just for perspective, the average annual rainfall in India is ~ 120 cm, which btw is fairly a good number given the vast physiographic conditions this country has.

Thread | While some people enjoyed #hailstorm in #Delhi with their children, a 10-year-old in Uttar Pradesh feared what his father (farmer) will do when he will see the destroyed crops in the morning.

This fear-stricken child assures his father that he will study hard and bring him out of the vicious cycle of farm loans. This child’s father – a landless farmer lost all his crops.
