Rainfall data of Darjeeling - Sikkim Himalaya (MAY2017)


Brief summary :-
  • Rainfall in May2017 for the Darjeeling - Sikkim Himalayas was deficient (except for Jaldhaka, in the foot hills of the Dooars). Most of the rainfall occurred in the first half of the month while the latter half was largely dry.
  • We had our first fatality of the year with a tree smashing down and instantly killing the driver of a truck on NH10 near Melli on 09May2017
  • We also had Cyclone 'Mora' brewing up in the Bay of Bengal but it did not affect us in any way
