Abstract
A simple method to determine the expectation of selected minimum rainfall has been developed on the assumption that monthly or seasonal rainfall is normally distributed over a period of years. Although it is realized that a perfectly normal distribution cannot be obtained, practical experience has shown that the assumption leads to no serious discrepancies and the advantage of simplicity is considerable. A detailed example of its use to forecast the agricultural potentialities of dry lands is given.
