The Indian rainfall has often been used as a proxy data for the Asian
monsoon as a whole for understanding the energy budget of the major ci
rculation features and also used as an input parameter in estimating t
he other regional parameters. In view of this, a long homogeneous rain
fall series of All-India (India taken as one unit) has been prepared b
ased on a fixed and well distributed network of 306 raingauge stations
over India by giving proper area-weightage. This paper contains a lis
ting of All-India monthly, seasonal and annual homogeneous data series
for the period 1871-1993. Some statistical details and long-term chan
ges of the All-India monsoon rainfall have been discussed.
