The rainfall anomalies in All India (AI) and its six subdivisions, North west (NW), North central (NC), west peninsular (WP), North east (NE), east peninsular (EP), and south peninsular (SP), were examined during years of different categories representing ENSO effects, in the period of 1901–1990. Unambiguous ENSOW‐U had the best association with droughts in NW, NC, WP, in the monsoon months June, July, August and September, but with large month‐to‐month variability in some events, indicating the effects of Madden–Julian Oscillations (MJO). In subdivisions NE, EP, SP, effects were mixed, with droughts in monsoon months preceded and/or followed by, or interspersed with, excess rainfall in some months. In La Niñas (C events), effects were generally opposing those of ENSOW‐U. Copyright © 2000 Royal Meteorological Society
