A first order Markov chain model has been fitted to daily rainfall data of tbe monsoon months in the Delhi region. Conditional probabilities, length of dry spells for different cumulative probabilities with particular reference to developmental stages of bajra crop in the kharif season have been computed and illustrated by means of nomograms.
