##article.abstract##

This study examines the seasonal distribution of rainfall in Osmanabad District, Maharashtra, highlighting its spatial variability and the influence of physiography on precipitation patterns. Using 30 years of secondary rainfall data (1992–2022), the research analyzes monsoon, post-monsoon, winter, and hot season rainfall using statistical methods such as mean and standard deviation. Findings reveal that Balaghat Mountain Ranges significantly affect rainfall, causing higher precipitation in tehsils like Kalamb, Osmanabad, and Tuljapur due to orographic effects, while Paranda and Lohara record lower rainfall due to their flat terrain. The study underscores the vital link between climatic conditions and agricultural productivity, emphasizing that understanding rainfall variability is essential for sustainable agricultural planning and water resource management in the region.
