Climatological records assume a paramount role in the studies of variation of the atmospheric conditions. They provide vital information about climate variability, trends and cycles. To identify such in the current study using non-parametric test such as Van Neumann ratio test, Pettitt test, standard normal homogeneity test and Buishand range test. Study concludes that there is a break in annual rainfall data of Yadgir district from SNHT and it was found to 1983 i.e., maximum annual rainfall received year.
