Unusual or extreme weather and climate-related events are of great public concern and interest. Climate is the major determinant responsible for fluctuations in agricultural productivity and largely determines the suitability of vegetation in a particular area. Climate change may refer to a change in average weather conditions. The impact of climate change on the various meteorological parameters has received a great deal of attention by scholars worldwide. Climate change is considered to be the biggest challenge facing the mankind in the 21st century. To develop strategies and make informed decisions about the future water allocation for different sectors and management of available water resources, they need climate change information that can directly be used by the Hydrologic impact models. Thus, the objective of the present study is to find the trends in climatological parameters as well as Monthly rainfall between the years 1985-2016. Also, future data of the same climatological parameters is generated using a stochastic weather generator for the period of years of 2011-30, 2046-65 and 2080-99.
