Limp monsoon that left swathes of India bone dry | Number Theory (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wednesday marked the end of the four-month-long southwest monsoon, which normally accounts for 75% of India’s annual rainfall. How was the rainfall performance this season? Bad is the short answer, with total monsoon rainfall being the 17th lowest since 1901 (earliest available data). This detailed analysis explains exactly what this entails. Abhishek Jha is Assistant Editor-Data at Hindustan Times. He uses statistical programming to generate newsworthy insights from large datasets. He is part o
Jobless rate falls to 5% in August (opens the original)
Read excerpt
India’s headline unemployment rate came in at 5% in August, marginally lower than the 5.1% figure in August last year, but increased by half a percentage point for the younger 15-29 years age group to 15.1%.

El Nino and long-term monsoon rain patterns | Number Theory (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Monsoon 2026 was widely expected to have a large rainfall deficit.

This week, northern India is facing floods or flood-like situation in rivers precisely because of rain. How bad is it? What are the rivers and regions affected? Here are six charts that answer
SIR's cut 118mn so far: More than Brazil's '22 poll turnout | Number Theory (opens the original)
Read excerpt
About 111.8 million people voted in Brazil’s 2022 general elections. India’s ongoing overhaul of its electoral rolls through the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), and the Special Revision (SR) in Assam, has so far resulted in the deletion of 118.3 million names, according to HT’s calculations. That is equivalent to 12.1% of the pre-revision electoral rolls covered by the exercise. Only 14 countries other than India and China are projected to have populations of more than 100 million in July 2026
