Abstract

The frequency distribution of southwest monsoon season and annual rainfall of about 500 rain-recording stations (1901-l960) forming a close and representative network in India was examined by statistical methods. It is seen that Indian rainfall does not differ significantly from normal except in a few small areas. Most of the country, excluding the Western arid and semi-arid areas, has values of coefficient of variation (annual) between 20 to 30 per cent irrespective of the amount of rainfall.
