IMD district wise rainfall  information

Following an appeal by SANDRP before the Central Information Commission, CIC had in January 2009 asked India Met Dept to review their policy and put up district wise monthly rainfall data for at least five years on its website. The relevant order of CIC can be seen at:

and relevent Press Release from SANDRP can be seen at:

Now, IMD has put up the requested data on its website, see:
http://imd.gov.in/section/hydro/distrainfall/districtrain.html.

IMD tells us that they are still in the process of collecting, collating the data and data of more districts would be uploaded as they are ready. We have also suggested to IMD to also provide annual figures (total of the monthly data) so that people get quick picture about the same. We also notice that links for some of the districts (e.g. Nalgonda in AP) are not working. Let us know if you have other feedback.
