Winner of METD WEATHER's contest- "Predict the heavy rain day in Nagpur"

Recently, an online competition was organised by METD WEATHER which was open to all
The competition was related to weather predictions. People had to predict the dates on which heavy rains will lash the city of Nagpur in the month of July
I had received 5 entries out of which Mr. Pravin Nandedkar gave the date of 6th and 7th July while Mrs. Manisha Gotmare gave the date of 8th July

Surprisingly it rained very heavily on these 3 days and competition became tough
The terms and conditions of competition were as follows-

THER

E MUST BE RAINS ON THAT DAY.2] RAINFALL ACCUMULATION IN TOTAL MU

ST BE OVER 25MM..3] HEAVY RAINS MEANS VERY HEAVY RATE..4] SUCH RATE MUST BE WIT

NESSED ATLEAST FOR 1HR..5] DATE VALIDS FROM 00AM TO 11:59PM OF THE DAY.

6] ORDINARY SPELLS WILL NOT BE REGARDED. THIS IS THE CRITERIA WHICH WILL DECIDE WHO

IS THE WINNER

On 7th July it rained very heavily and accumulation was 65m
m.
But on 8th July the rain rate was much higher and rains recorde
d by 11:59 PM were 13mm.
However in the night time, rainfall colle
cted was 30mm

So there are two winners of the competition and I award them " Smart Weather Forecaster"
