Abstract
Variation of seasonal rainfall and probabilities of occurrence of assured weekly rainfall provide useful information for efficient agricultural management. In the present study, seven stations of Himachal Pradesh have been selected for the analysis of the rainfall data. In general, the station Dalhousie received the higher rainfall during both the growing and dormant seasons along with annual rainfall. Probability percentage of receiving 10 mm, 20 mm, 50 mm and 75 mm rainfall have been computed for standard weeks during growing and dormant seasons at four stations Katrain, Bajaura, Mashobra and Nauni (Solan). A critical examination for spatial and temporal probability distribution revealed that high rainfall belt is located in the north western part of the state. For better apple production, monsoon rainfall plays significant role. It not only moderates the temperature during summer but also recharges the muchneeded moisture, which almost depletes by mid June. Well distributed winter rains and early snowfall before January are beneficial in providing chilling, optimal flowering and good fruit set.
