Statistical trend analysis was conducted using the Mann-Kendall test, Sen's slope estimator, and the Modified Mann-Kendall test (after removing serial correlation through pre-whitening) at a 5% significance level. The dataset was divided into pre-industrial (1951-1985) and post-industrial (1986-2020) periods for temporal comparison. Rainfall trends were evaluated seasonally and monthly using R Studio (packages trend and modifiedmk) and spatially visualized in ArcGIS 10.3.1. Results show increasing pre-monsoon rainfall during the pre-industrial period, with Barwani and Balaghat experiencing the greatest changes. Monsoon trends varied spatially, with post-industrial years showing an overall increase-maximum rise in Dhar (+0.3922 mm\/yr) and decline in Bhind (-0.3286 mm\/yr). Post-monsoon and winter rainfall exhibited minimal variation. On a monthly scale, March and April showed notable increases, particularly in Shajapur district.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LAP Lambert Academic Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46862515437719,"sku":"9786209260582","price":7720.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9786209260582.webp?v=1769966537","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/assessing-rainfall-variability-and-trends-in-the-era-of-climate-change-9786209260582","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
