Abstract

The monsoon and annual rainfall over India from 1901 to 1988 has been given weight age with the area of its occurrence over meteorological sub-divisions. This data have been statistically analysed. It has been found that the area weighted annual and monsoon rainfall increased from 1901 to the middle of the century but started decreasing gradually thereafter. The rainfall series does not show any trend and periodicities. The 11-year moving averages also indicate a definite increase up to 1958 and a fall thereafter. The variates show significant levels for certain meteorological sub-divisions.
