Abstract
The daily rainfall data of arid zone for a period of 50 years (1946-95) at three locations. Hisar, Bhiwani and Sirsa were analyzed to find out characteristics of south-west monsoon. Mean onset date was observed 4 July at Hisar and Bhiwani with standard deviation of 7 to 9 days respectively, whereas 7 July at Sirsa with standard deviation of 9 days.
