Mahesh Palawat of Skymet Weather Services, a private forecaster, told PTI that Delhi has seen an unusually high number of rainy days this year.
Although the city experienced fewer rainy days in July, heavy downpours over just two or three days contributed significantly to the overall rainfall, he explained.
Similarly, August saw a higher number of days with rain, contributing to the overall increase in rainfall, Palawat said.
According to the India Meteorological Department, Delhi's primary weather station at Safdarjung recorded 913.1 mm of rain this season against the normal of 586.9 mm, marking a 56 per cent increase over the usual figure.
