The percentage of normal, surplus and drought months are 27.78%, 16.67%, and 62.78% respectively. The percentage of drought, surplus and normal years are 13.33%, 13.34% and 73.33% respectively according to Standard Deviation (sd). The analysis also revealed erratic distribution of precipitation during Rabi season thereby preventing the farmers to go for Rabi crops. Therefore, the irrigation must be assured for sowing Rabi crops. The monthly maximum rainfall at different probability level was calculated by Gumbel’s Distribution method. From the drought analysis it was observed that study area is drought prone at two stages; firstly, at the beginning of the season which can cause delay in transplantation and secondly, at the beginning of the grain ripening stage, which can drastically reduce the crop yield. The annual daily maximum rainfall received at any time ranged between 975.2 mm (maximum) to zero (minimum) indicating a very large range of fluctuation during the period of study.
