Traditional almanac predicted rainfall A case study [1]

Rainfall occurring over a place is very important from water resources planning and management point of view. The prediction of rainfall further helps in planning the activities of agriculturists, builders, water supply engineers, and others. At present the Meteorology Department is informing only short term forecasting about weather but long term forecasting is needed for planning. This can be achieved by two methods, namely traditional forecasting and scientific weather forecasting.
