Mumbai Monthly Rainfall — The Monsoon Takes No Prisoners
Best for
- Showing general trends with a polished look
- Presenting data where smooth transitions are natural (e.g., prices, metrics)
- Dashboards and presentations where aesthetics matter
Avoid when
- Precise point-to-point accuracy matters — smoothing can misrepresent values between points
- Data has sharp, abrupt changes that should be visible
- Scientific or technical contexts where exact interpolation is required
