Manipur is located in the northeastern part of the country which is known as 'wet desert' as it lies with the meridian 240-260 N and parallels 930-940 which covers most of the existing deserts of the world such as Sahara's, Gobi etc. The meteorological data are collected from the various existing network such as IMD, Imphal, Manipur University and Irrigation & Flood Control Department, Government of Manipur. They are analyzed using the Microsoft Excel, GIS software to determine the trends of the local climate changes in the last ten years. Besides that, the flood events of the study area have been analyzed with the rainfall thresholds.
