Northern India Receives Heavy Rainfall, Exceeding Average
Imagine the monsoon season bringing a lot of rain to northern India.
Recently, there's been much more rain than usual.
In just one week, it rained almost 50% more than normal.
This extra rain is because of how the monsoon winds are blowing.
The monsoon winds are responsible for bringing rain and they're taking a different path than usual.

The region received 75.2 mm of precipitation during that week.
This was 48% higher than the long-period average of 49 mm.
