Three important features of rainfall in India are-

1. There is rainfall over three months and the rest of the year is mostly dry. Seventy percent of annual rainfall occurs in the rainy season.
2. The rains are mainly of relief type. The windward slopes of the mountains get more rainfall than the leeward side.
3. Only a small portion of the rainfall is received from sources other than the monsoon, like cyclonic rainfall and convectional rainfall.
