Abstract
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.
