When the total rainfall is more, ..., trees continue to grow until a period of lower relative humidity (65%) leading to higher teak 18O.

May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December

We propose that this correlation is caused by longer duration of the growing season in years of higher rainfall.

(i) the presence of relatively stronger amount effect in rainfall over a longer time scale, (ii) higher contribution of rainfall during the north-east (NE) monsoon, depleted in 18O, and (iii) relatively lesser   effect of the relative humidity in deciding tree 18O.
