The analysis of rainfall records for long period provides information about rainfall pattern and variability. The long term monthly rainfall data for the period 1958-2017 (60 years) was studied. And also rainfall studies are the utmost utility for understanding the nature and behaviour of climate change. In this study, trends in rainfall, maximum rainfall intensity and rainy day for 1958-2017 were examined. Long term data analysed for 60 years (1958-2017) annual data suggest that there is a significant change in rainfall over the last decade. It observed that total mean rainfall June to October but in by 50.04mm last 60 years and annual rainy days decreased by 0.017 mm per year. From the average monthly rainfall analysis, it is observed that rainfall variation for first 20 years (1958-1978) and second 20 years (1979-1999) are similar rainfall pattern whereas it differs for last decade (2000-2017) because of the change in magnitude however the overall trend is similar. Average monthly rainfall analysis indicates there is maximum rainfall in the month of June and minimum rainfall in the month of October.
