Importance of understanding the precipitation
patterns is well understood for risk assessment,
understanding the effects of climate change besides having
economic implications such as effects on agriculture and
allied industries. Here we present a study in which we
studied the precipitation patterns over India from 1901 to
2015 and its variation along with geography and the trends
observed in the past century. The time series and spatial
distributions were analyzed and plotted. The results show
the development of drought conditions and extreme event
conditions across some regions in India after 1945 and
show that southern India’s coastal regions have a bigger
share in the occurrence of extreme events. These results
can be helpful in policy formulations and inferring land
