Rainfall Intensity Intensity can be defined as the rate of rainfall per unit time. It gives an analytical idea of how fast and slow rain is falling. 700mm per year
About 87% of the annual rainfall is received during the monsoon months June to September. On an average, rain of 2.5 mm or more falls on 27 days in a year. Of these, 21.4 days are during monsoon months. For design considerations, rainfall intensity of 20 to 30 mm which generally occurs in one hour duration has to be taken into account

The Duration of Rainfall The period for which a particular rain falls, is known as its duration. There is an inverse relationship between rainfall intensity and duration. As the duration of a storm increases its intensity will decrease.
