The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has six Regional Meteorological Centres:
Chennai, Guwahati, Kolkata, Mumbai, Nagpur, New Delhi.
Each center has a Deputy Director-General. There is also a Meteorological Centre in every
state capital.
Established in 1875, the IMD operates under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government
of India.
Its headquarters is located in New Delhi, with regional offices and observatories across
the country.
SERVICES
1.Weather Forecasting:
IMD Pune offers daily weather forecasts, including information on temperature, humidity,
wind speed, and precipitation. These forecasts cater to the specific needs of the Western
region, helping the public, agriculture, and various industries plan activities accordingly.
The department issues timely alerts and warnings for severe weather events such as
cyclones, heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and heatwaves. These alerts are crucial for disaster
preparedness and public safety.
SERVICES
3.Climate Monitoring:
IMD Pune monitors long-term climate patterns and variations in the Western region. This
includes the analysis of temperature trends, rainfall patterns, and other climatic parameters,
contributing to climate research and understanding.
IMD Pune offers aviation weather services, providing meteorological information essential
for safe air travel. This includes weather forecasts, visibility reports, and other aviation-
related data for airports in the region.
The department issues forecasts related to the state of the Indian Ocean, including sea
surface temperatures, wave heights, and other marine conditions. This information is vital
for maritime activities and navigation.
I had the privilege of being assigned as an intern at the Climate Research and Services
(CRS) Department of the India Meteorological Department (IMD) in Pune.
The CRS Department plays a pivotal role in climate research and services, providing
critical information for various sectors. The focus of this internship was on enhancing
data visualization and accessibility through a Rainfall Dashboard.
INTERN CONTRIBUTION IN INDUSTRY
Objective:
The primary goal of my internship was to contribute to the creation of a Rainfall Dashboard.
1.My Role:
As an intern, I actively participated in the design and development of the Rainfall
Dashboard, leveraging my skills in data analysis, visualization, and software tools.
2.Key Responsibilities:
1. Collaborating with the CRS team to understand the specific requirements.
2. Analyzing rainfall data and identifying key parameters for visualization.
3. Utilizing relevant tools and technologies to create an interactive and user-friendly
dashboard.
4. Ensuring the accuracy and reliability of data displayed on the dashboard.
INTERN CONTRIBUTION IN INDUSTRY
This component enables users to select a specific state and delve into rainfall data for
various districts and meteorological stations within that state. The dashboard provides
graphical representations of the data while underlining the significance of rainfall
statistics and extreme values. This feature is valuable for data-driven decision-making and
holds great relevance in numerous sectors.
OUTCOME OF INTERNSHIP
The outcome of the project, i.e the development of a Rainfall Data Visualization
Dashboard using Python, has resulted in a comprehensive and impactful tool for
meteorologists and decision-makers.

My external guide was Dr Rajib Chattopadhyay whose support was there throughout the
internship. Daily/weekly he used to allocate me work that I had to do and with the ideas
and necessary resources. From joining day to the farewell I took his guidance which was
very useful for me. he also helped me in times when I got stuck somewhere and was not

One of the strengths of this dashboard lies in its user-friendly interface and interactive
components, which facilitate an intuitive exploration of the data. The diverse applications
of this dashboard extend to various sectors, including agriculture, urban planning, and
disaster management, where a comprehensive understanding of rainfall patterns is
instrumental for making well-informed decisions.
FUTURE SCOPE
Looking to the future, this dashboard holds great potential for expansion and refinement.
It can readily incorporate additional data and visualizations to enhance its scope.
For instance, the dashboard can be further enriched by incorporating rainfall data from
stations across all states and union territories in India, consolidating it into a singular,
reliable platform for comprehensive station-based rainfall information.
