Zusammenfassung:Jenamani et al. have reported that 'Kasauli' (Himachal Pradesh) recorded maximum one-day rainfall of 99.6 cm on 17-18 June 1899. We have checked this with original records of the India Meteorological Department (Pune) and found that the highest rainfall given for Kasauli station is wrong. The actual highest one-day rainfall recorded at Kasauli station was 99.5 mm (3.92 in) on 28 June 1899. The highest one-day rainfall recorded at stations in northwestern India, especially in the foothills of the western Himalayas, is given in Table 1.
