Rainfall is the important element of Indian economy. Although the monsoons effect most part of India, the amount of rainfall varies from heavy to scanty on different parts. There is great regional and temporal variation in the distribution of rainfall. Over 80% of the annual rainfall is received in the four rainy months of June to September. The average annual rainfall is about 125 cm, but it has great spatial variations.
Areas of Heavy Rainfall (Over 200cm) : The highest rainfall occurs in west costs, on the western Ghats as well as the Sub-Himalayan areas in North East and Meghalaya Hills. Assam, West Bengal, West Coast and Southern slopes of eastern Himalayas.
Areas of Moderately Heavy Rainfall (100-200 cm) : This rainfall occurs in Southern Parts of Gujarat, East Tamil Nadu, North-eastern Peninsular, Western Ghats, eastern Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Orrisa, the middle Ganga valley.
Areas of Less Rainfall (50-100 cm) : Upper Ganga valley, eastern Rajasthan, Punjab, Southern Plateau of Karnataka, Andhra Pradessh and Tamil Nadu.
Areas of Scanty Rainfall (Less than 50 cm) : Northern part of Kashmir, Western Rajasthan, Punjab and Deccan Plateau. The two significant features of India's rainfall is that
i. in the north India, rainfall decreases westwards and ii. in Peninsular India, except Tamil Nadu, it decreases eastward.

Describe the pattern of rainfall in different parts of country
Explanation:
- India is a tropical country that has a wide range of geographical and physiography realms and the variation in the topographic patterns that makes it more difficult to fully explain the type and the patterns of the rainfall in the country.
- Thus based on the Koppen climate, there are the six major sub type and ranging from the deserts in the west to the alpine on the north and the tropical rain forest and the rain forest in the southwest including the island nations. The monsoon means the June to Sept months and the post-monsoon form the October to December.
- The patterns of the tropical wet are in the Malabar and the western ghats coastal areas, with high year-round temperatures typically have heavy 2000 mm rainfall. The semi-arid and the arid regions have less than 300 mm of rainfall such as in western Rajasthan and Gujarat.
- The subtropical humid is found in the north eastern and the northern parts of India and has 1000 to 2500 mm of rainfall. The main factor is the shift in the high summer temperature of central Asia and the Indian Ocean. The summer or advancing monsoon is the southwestern branch and the retreating is the October to Dec branch.
