In xarray seasonal grouping includes combination of months : DJF, MAM, JJA, SON, but Indian Mainland seasonal climatology include: JJAS (monsoon), ON (post-monsoon), MAM (pre-monsoon) and DJF (winter). For the same I tried the following way to script:

def is_jjas(month):
    return (month >= 6) & (month <= 9)
JJAS = ds.sel (time=is_jjas (ds['time.month']))

def is_on(month):
    return (month >= 10) & (month <= 11)
ON = ds.sel (time=is_on (ds['time.month']))

def is_mam(month):
    return (month >= 3) & (month <= 5)
MAM = ds.sel (time=is_mam (ds['time.month']))

def is_djf(month):
    return (month == 12) & (month == 1) & (month == 2)
DJF = ds.sel (time=is_djf (ds['time.month'][2:-1]))   # [2:-1] slicing is used to remove Jan, Feb from the first and Dec from the last year in the datasets

The dataset (ds) has time dim of shape (216, ) i.e., monthly for 18 years, after slicing [2:-1] to remove the Jan, Feb from the first and Dec from the last year in the datasets, the shape reduce to (213, ).
That is why I got an error:

Looking hopefully for any constructive remark or help from the community. Thanks.........

if you look at the implementation of time.season, it will translate months to season labels here:

xarray/xarray/core/accessor_dt.py

Lines 15 to 20 in 7a201de

     def _season_from_months(months):  
   """Compute season (DJF, MAM, JJA, SON) from month ordinal"""  
   # TODO: Move "season" accessor upstream into pandas  
   seasons = np.array(["DJF", "MAM", "JJA", "SON"])  
   months = np.asarray(months)  
   return seasons[(months // 3) % 4]  

 

Since your groups are not that different, you can take the expression (months // 3) % 4 and change the group for September (9):

def indian_mainland_seasons(months):
    seasons = np.array(["DJF", "MAM", "JJAS", "ON"])
    months = np.asarray(

Quick response: does moving the index outside the selection help?

ds.sel (time=is_djf (ds)) ['time.month'][2:-1]

           def _season_from_months(months): 
        
               """Compute season (DJF, MAM, JJA, SON) from month ordinal""" 
        
               # TODO: Move "season" accessor upstream into pandas 
        
               seasons = np.array(["DJF", "MAM", "JJA", "SON"]) 
        
               months = np.asarray(months) 
        
               return seasons[(months // 3) % 4]

Since your groups are not that different, you can take the expression (months // 3) % 4 and change the group for September (9):

def indian_mainland_seasons(months):
    seasons = np.array(["DJF", "MAM", "JJAS", "ON"])
    months = np.asarray(months)
    return seasons[np.where(months == 9, 2, (months // 3) % 4)]

This assumes numpy-like arrays, so you might need to use apply_ufunc to apply it to xarray objects. For example:

In [6]: ds = xr.tutorial.open_dataset("rasm")
   ...: 
   ...: def indian_mainland_seasons(arr):
   ...:     def compute(months):
   ...:         seasons = np.array(["DJF", "MAM", "JJAS", "ON"])
   ...:         months = np.asarray(months)
   ...:         return seasons[np.where(months == 9, 2, (months // 3) % 4)]
   ...: 
   ...:     return xr.apply_ufunc(
   ...:         compute,
   ...:         arr.dt.month,
   ...:     )
   ...: 
   ...: indian_mainland_seasons(ds.time)
Out[6]: 
<xarray.DataArray 'month' (time: 36)>
array(['JJAS', 'ON', 'ON', 'DJF', 'DJF', 'DJF', 'MAM', 'MAM', 'MAM',
       'JJAS', 'JJAS', 'JJAS', 'JJAS', 'ON', 'ON', 'DJF', 'DJF', 'DJF',
       'MAM', 'MAM', 'MAM', 'JJAS', 'JJAS', 'JJAS', 'JJAS', 'ON', 'ON',
       'DJF', 'DJF', 'DJF', 'MAM', 'MAM', 'MAM', 'JJAS', 'JJAS', 'JJAS'],
      dtype='<U4')
Coordinates:
  * time     (time) object 1980-09-16 12:00:00 ... 1983-08-17 00:00:00

Also return (month == 12) & (month == 1) & (month == 2) should be return (month == 12) | (month == 1) | (month == 2)

Thanks, it also worked perfectly, in case one by one month is selected. 👍🙌
