‘An Educated Guess’ by Gadgil et al.

Every summer monsoon is unusual, each in its own way. The 2019 monsoon seemingly lost track of the calendar and did everything a month late. June rains were well below normal, more like a typical May, but then the monsoon took hold with July a bit above normal, followed by very wet months in August and September and even into October. There was catastrophic flooding at times when the monsoon should be waning or at an end.
