Short summary
Season-ahead rainfall forecast is very important for water resource management. Classification methods are used to identify the extreme rainfall classes dry and wet using climate teleconnections. These models can be used for river basin areal rainfall forecast and water resources and power generation planning for climate uncertainty. Water resource management decisions are informed by forecasts of El Niño–Southern Oscillation and Indian Ocean Dipole phenomena.
