RAINFALL PREDICTOR

IMPORTANCE OF RAINFALL

Rainfall is the most important climate variable that affects the crops in the tropical rain fed regions. People wish to know whether there would be rainfall in the coming months or year. To fulfill this requirement, one needs a forecast, well ahead of the commencement of the crop season. Such rainfall forecasts can be used both by the farmers and the Government in planning for the ensuing year. This work is an attempt to analyze the available data for development of a system for rainfall forecast and crop selection, from taluka level to state level. This work thus introduces a novel concept called region bound model for Rainfall prediction.
