There was an early start to monsoon conditions during 1996, with monsoonal rains completely covering India by 30 June, 2 weeks earlier than normal. There was also a late finish to the monsoon season, with a complete withdrawal of monsoonal rains from India not seen until 11 October. For the area as a whole, rainfall was above normal during June and July, near normal during August, slightly below normal during September, and then substantially above normal during October (Fig. 58d). In fact, average October totals nearly equalled those observed during September.
