Not AvailableKonkan is a coastal strip parallel to Sahyadri hill
ranges, which rises from mean sea level to 300 meter height
having annual rainfall range from 2300 mm to 4100
mm(Anonymous, 2013).Climate change is acting as a trigger
for changing rainfall pattern and temperature which can
have significant impacts on hydrological cycle and crop
calendar of the region (Abrol et al., 2004). Mono-cropping
with rice cultivation during kharif season is generally
observed while the horticultural crops like mango, cashew
and coconut are major crops of the region. In last few years’
production, productivity and quality of mango is adversely
affected due to change in different meteorological parameters
in the region (Munj et al., 2017). The variability in rainfall
and temperature of the Konkan region has been reported by
various workers (Dixit et al., 2005; Yadav and Dixit, 2006;
Talathi et al., 2008). However no work is reported on trends
in the climatic parameters of this region. Hence, the presents
study was undertaken to analyse the trends in annual and
seasonal rainfall and temperaturein the Konkan regionNot Availabl
