Critical Comparison Of North East Monsoon Rainfall For Different Regions Through Analysis Of Means Technique

Rainfall has critical importance directly or indirectly on many people in the sectors of agriculture, insurance, industry and other allied fields. The study of variations and critical comparisons of rainfall in different regions helps the Government to assess drought situations and to take necessary planning. The seasonal Northeast monsoon rainfall in India occurs during the months of October, November and December of every year. The study proposes a methodology based Analysis of Means (ANOM) technique on the variations and critical comparisons of Northeast monsoon rainfall patterns in different regions of India and observes the cumulative probability distribution function of rainfall for each region. Analysis reveals that the East and Northeast region receives the highest average rainfall with high variation, South Peninsular India sustain with the consistent rainfall, Northwest India and Central India experience low rainfalls respectively. All the four regions record the high rainfall in the month of October and low in the month of December.
