Abstract
Background: Rainfed crops occupy partial portion of net sown area and production of agriculture in the tropics. In view of the importance ofrainfed crop, there is a need to increase the productivity of rainfed areas. Crop production under rainfed condition requires climatemeasures such as rainfall prediction. Maximum work of rainfall forecasting mainly depends on monthly rainfall. But distribution of rainfallfrom week to week is very important for crop planning under rainfed condition.Method: In present study, weekly rainfall data was collected for 2000 to 2019. The rainfall during 2000 to 2018 was used to train the modeland remaining part of data was used for validation process. The model selection was made using AIC, BIC, MAE and RMSE, andSARIMA(1,0,2)(1,0,1)52 was identified to be the appropriate one.Results: The validation process confirmed that SARIMA(1,0,2)(1,0,1)52 was the best model for forecasting weekly rainfall. It is benef...
