Annual rainfall of 3,610.2 mm in 12 months
If anything, Kerala was the playground of the rain gods in 2021.
The year, which came to a close on Friday, will be remembered as one of the wettest for Kerala, setting new rainfall records in the southern State even as an increase in unruly weather systems over the Arabian Sea added fuel to the debate on climate-change impacts.
In 2021, the State logged its highest annual rainfall in 60 years and the sixth highest annual rainfall in the past 120 years, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said. The State recorded an annual rainfall of 3,610.2 mm during the 12-month period against the ‘normal’ of 2,924.7 mm, an excess of 23.4%.
