Good to see rains after such a hot summer! But I hope IMD also warns about possible flooding in low-lying areas. Mumbai's drainage system can't handle heavy rains - BMC needs to be prepared. 🌧️

As someone from Chennai where water shortage is common, I'm happy to see Andhra and Telangana getting good rainfall. Hope this fills our reservoirs adequately. Monsoon is truly India's finance minister!

The rainfall distribution seems uneven - Northeast getting heavy rains while some northern states remain dry. Climate change is making weather patterns unpredictable. We need better water management policies.

Farmers in my village (near Gorakhpur) will be relieved with this rain. But 2 cm is not enough for paddy crops. Hope the monsoon strengthens in coming weeks. Our agriculture still depends heavily on timely rains.

While the data is useful, IMD should make these rainfall reports more visual with maps/graphs. Many people don't understand cm measurements. A simple color-coded map would help common citizens understand better.

Cherrapunji getting only 3cm? That's surprising for what was once the wettest place on earth! Shows how much our climate is changing. We need to take environmental conservation more seriously.
