The present study was carried out for analyzing the rainfall under changing climatic scenario for better planning of farming practices in semi arid region of Uttar Pradesh. Analysis showed that there was a decreasing trend of rainfall as well as rainy days during last decade (2000-2010). Occurrence of frequent long dry spell of 10-15 was recorded during the period, indicated the need of construction of water harvesting structures for life saving irrigation for the survival of crops. Probability analysis showed that occurrence of probable rainfall was of 440.0 mm, 26.5 mm, 11.9mmand 508.0mm respectively for the kharif,rabi , summer season and annual at 76% confidence level, the occurrence of rainy days was found to be 30, 21, 2 and 1 day for the annual,kharif ,rabi and summer season, respectively. Probability analysis of rainfall revealed that selection of less water demanding crops such as green gram, pearl millet, and guar in kharifseason. The onset of effective monsoon on 5 July is assured at 80 %probability, dry sowing ofkharif crops can be undertaken during last week of June to take the advantage of such rainfall distribution. There is 85% probability that there would be no rain after 15 September so limited chances of receiving adequate amount of moisture at the root zone level for proper germination ofrabi crops. This also demanded that duringkharif , short duration varieties of crops should be chosen so that they mature by 37 standard week. Forrabi crops, early sowing or pre sowing irrigation through water harvesting in ponds and recycling is very good strategy for proper germination of rabicrops like mustard, lentil and barley.
