About This Dataset
The dataset contains information on the average monthly and total annual rainfall for 21 districts in the Indian state of Haryana for the year 2012. It consists of 21 rows and 14 columns, with each row representing a district and the columns showing the rainfall for each month and the total for the year.
Data Quality
The dataset is well-structured with consistent numeric formatting across rainfall columns. No missing or null values are present. However, the annual totals appear to repeat across some districts, which may indicate rounding, duplication, or reporting inconsistencies.
Use Cases
Climate analysis, hydrological studies, agricultural planning, drought monitoring, rainfall pattern analysis, environmental research, and regional weather trend modeling.
Limitations
The dataset only covers a single year and lacks daily rainfall granularity. It does not provide measurement station metadata, geographic coordinates, or methodology details regarding rainfall measurement instruments.
Methodology
The data was likely compiled from meteorological observation stations across districts, where rainfall measurements were recorded monthly and aggregated to calculate annual rainfall totals.
